  1. Image Processing for Conifer Forest Detection in Tien-Shan Mountains. Galina N. Fet FET2@MARSHALL.EDU Marshall University, Department of Physical Sciences Geobiophysical Modeling Graduate Program May 18, 2006

  2. TIEN-SHAN MOUNTAINS, KYRGYZ REPUBLIC Environmental MonitoringNatural Resources Exploration and ConservationInternational Tourism Development STUDY AREA Google Earth

  3. STUDY OBJECTIVES • imagery classification: vegetation and non-vegetation feature extraction • vegetation classification and mapping using ground data and imagery • species database compilation for Internet distribution

  4. VEGETATION COMPLEXITY • Juniper or Spruce clear stands or mix FOREST => THAN 75 % • Dwarf Juniper and shrubs • Riparian mountain forests with Spruce • Grasslands and mountain meadows with Juniper or dwarf Juniper

  5. STEPS AND COPONENTS INCREASE QUALITY AND ACCURACY GROUND CONTROL POINTS DATA AND SPECIES GEODATABASE PRODUCE ELEVATION LAYER EXTRACT ELEVATION CONTOURS AND WATERSHEDS FOREST TYPE DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL BAND COMBINATION ASESSMENT AND STATISTICS SATELLITE IMAGERY AND ROCESSING SOFTWARE IMAGE PROCESSING AND CLASSIFICATION PLANT ECOLOGY AND BOTANY 3D VISUALIZATION SPATIAL STATISTICS AND SURFACE ANALYSIS
