Developing Forest Cover Composites through a Combination of Landsat-8 Optical and Sentinel-1 SAR Data for the Visualization and Extraction of Forested Areas

Mapping the distribution of forested areas and monitoring their spatio-temporal changes are necessary for the conservation and management of forests. This paper presents two new image composites for the visualization and extraction of forest cover. By exploiting the Landsat-8 satellite-based multi-t...
