Analysis of forest regions by SAR and optical images

摘要

This paper presents techniques for automatic analysis forest regions using radar and optical orbital instruments. Input data were the images of Altai regions territories obtained with RESURS-01 MSU-E, RESURS-F1M, SIR-C/L-SAR (total power, HH, HV,VV), and also the NOAA-AVHRR radiometer data. The resolution of SAR images was around 25 m per pixel. The textural and polarization properties of SAR images were used as additional information. The results were supplemented by classification of images MSU-E and RESURS-FIM by synchronous ground measurements.
