Abstract

Remote Sensing technologies have been used quite a
long time in forestry applications. While the more acquired data can be
obtained with traditional survey and photogrammetric techniques, they required
relatively more manpower and time consuming.

The most important characteristics of this research
will bring the new opportunities for forestry applications by using the
object-based classification methods with multispectral satellite images that
have high spatial resolution (<1meter). In this individual tree and forest
stand based research, the solutions searched with using very high-resolution
(VHR) satellite images for time-consuming problems in forestry applications.
