Verfahrenstest zur großflächigen Identifikation der in Bayern vorkommenden Hauptbaumarten auf Basis von WorldView 2 (WV2) Satellitendaten (Pilotvorhaben)

Since 2010 a new generation of high spectral and high spatial resolution satellite sensors in available from commerical image providers. This pilot study evaluates the potential of commercial World View 2 satellite data (8 spectral bands in 2 m spatial resolution) for mapping different forest species in Bavaria, Germany. Test data are available for several forest sites. The aim is to distinguish as many tree species as possible (e.g. spruce, beech, oak, etc.).
