Using Texture to Classify Forests Separately from Vegetation

arXiv:2405.00264v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Identifying terrain within satellite image data is a key issue in geographical information sciences, with numerous environmental and safety implications. Many techniques exist to derive classifications from spectral data captured by satellites. However, the ability to reliably classify vegetation remains a challenge. In particular, no precise methods exist for classifying forest vs. non-forest vegetation in high-level satellite images. This paper provides an initial proposal for a static, algorithmic process to identify forest regions in satellite …
