Book Synopsis Mapping and Spatiotemporal Characterization of Degraded Forests in the Brazilian Amazon Through Remote Sensing by : Carlos Moreira De Souza (Jr)
Book excerpt: Inop region were successfully applied to forty Landsat images covering other regions of the Brazilian Amazon. Standard fractions and NDFI images were computed for these other regions and both physically and spatially consistent results were obtained. An automated decision tree classification using genetic algorithm was implemented successfully to classify land cover types and sub-classes of degraded forests. The remote sensing techniques proposed in this dissertation are fully automated and have the potential to be used in tropical forest monitoring programs.
