Classification of Damage Level for Italian Coast Forestry Using Remote Sensing Data
- Received Date: 2000-04-17
Abstract: The potential of applying Landsat TM and ERS 1 SAR data to classify the damage levels of Italian coast forestry was analyzed. The result indicates that TM data acquired in summer is more effective than that obtained in winter and ERS 1 SAR data on forestry damage mapping. But the contribution of ERS 1 SAR data for this study is not neglected. The B P (Back propagation) model of artificial neural network was applied to identify different levels of forestry damage. The evaluation for the classified precision with FINDKAPPA program is provided and the map of forestry damage levels for study area is also provided.
