Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the dendrometric components of olive trees by using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The research was carried out in the olive groves of Akdeniz University Faculty of Agriculture. The study consists of the basic stages of acquisition, processing and analysis of UAV images. In the first stage, autonomous flight was performed with the UAV and digital images of the area were collected. In addition, at this stage, the number and height of olive trees in the area were determined by making local measurements. In the second stage, orthomosaic image, digital surface model (DSM) and digital terrain model (DTM) were produced by processing UAV images. At this stage, tree crown boundaries were determined by manual digitization over the orthomosaic image. Then, a canopy height model (CHM) was created to semi-automatically calculate the crown borders, number of trees and tree height values of olive trees. As a result of the evaluation of semi-automatic findings and ground measurements, the general accuracy in the determination of trees in the olive grove was 96.15%, the accuracy of the producer was 85.14% and the user accuracy was 81.82% in the determination of the tree crown boundaries. In addition, high correlations were obtained in the determination of tree crown area (r = 0.980) and tree height (r = 0.918). According to these results, it has been revealed that some dendrometric components of the olive tree can be determined quite successfully with the semi-automatically calculated data from the UAVs.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, insansız hava aracı (İHA) kullanılarak zeytin ağaçlarının dendrometrik bileşenlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma Akdeniz Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi zeytinliklerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma, İHA görüntülerinin elde edilmesi, işlenmesi ve analizi temel aşamalarından oluşmaktadır. İlk aşamada İHA ile otonom uçuş gerçekleştirilerek alanın dijital görüntüleri toplanmıştır. Ayrıca bu aşamada yersel ölçümler yapılarak alandaki zeytin ağaçlarının sayısı ve yükseklikleri belirlenmiştir. İkinci aşamada, İHA görüntüleri işlenerek ortomozaik görüntü, sayısal yüzey modeli (DSM) ve sayısal arazi modeli (DTM) üretilmiştir. Bu aşamada ortomozaik görüntü üzerinden manuel sayısallaştırma ile ağaç taç sınırları belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra zeytin ağaçlarının taç sınırlarını, ağaç sayısını ve ağaç yükseklik değerlerini yarı otomatik olarak hesaplamak için bir kanopi yükseklik modeli (KYM) oluşturulmuştur. Yarı otomatik bulgular ile yersel ölçümlerin değerlendirilmesi sonucunda zeytinlikteki ağaçların tespitinde genel doğruluk %96,15, ağaç taç sınırlarının belirlenmesinde ise üretici doğruluğu %85.14 ve kullanıcı doğruluğu %81.82 olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca ağaç taç alanı (r = 0.980) ve ağaç yüksekliğinin (r = 0.918) belirlenmesinde de yüksek korelasyonlar elde edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre, İHA’lardan yarı otomatik olarak hesaplanan veriler ile zeytin ağacının bazı dendrometric bileşenlerinin oldukça başarılı bir şekilde belirlenebildiği ortaya konmuştur.
