Remote change and structure detection of a forest ecosystem

 

Goal:	Extraction of biophysical parameters from hyperspectral images
	Tree height / Tree density / Crown diameter Leaf Area Index Vitality (chlorophyll)
Material:	Images from CHRIS/PROBA PROBA: Belgian micro-satellite CHRIS: High spatial, hyperspectral sensor 5 multi-angular images Images taken at 4 different times in a year Site Coniferous forest in Northern Belgium
Method:	Inversion of BRDF models Regression between collected ground data and data from images
