DETECTION OF SINGLE STANDING DEAD TREES FROM AERIAL COLOR INFRARED IMAGERY BY SEGMENTATION WITH SHAPE AND INTENSITY PRIORS

Standing dead trees, known as snags, are an essential factor in maintaining biodiversity in forest ecosystems. Combined with their role as carbon sinks, this makes for a compelling reason to study their spatial distribution. This paper presents an integrated method to detect and delineate individual...
