Does topographic normalization of landsat images improve fractional tree cover mapping in tropical mountains?

Fractional tree cover (Fcover) is an important biophysical variable for measuring forest degradation and characterizing land cover. Recently, atmospherically corrected Landsat data have become available, providing opportunities for high-resolution mapping of forest attributes at global-scale. Howeve...
