Analysis of Forest Spatial Structure using Spatial Decision Rule
The radar group at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Wageningen
University, has several research activities to investigate radar tree mapping and data
integration, and one of them is the study of “Analysis of Forest Spatial Structure
using Spatial Decision Rule”. The objective of this study is to investigate the tree
grouping level using the spatial decision rule based on tree information derived from
the interferometric SAR (InSAR) images. The results showed that tree objects could
be quantitatively clumped in various degrees and different hierarchy levels using
several parameters, e.g. distance to the closest neighbor tree(s), tree height, and
canopy structure. The study also learned that trees can be grouped in a
quantitatively way without loosing individual tree information to be integrated into
the smaller scale geo-database, e.g. forest density cover type.
