摘要
Aerial photographs arc important information sources for forest inventory. With the development of science and technology, an automated approach to aerial photograph interpretation has been sought. This paper introduces an experimental computer system for the auto-interpretation of aerial photographs. On thebasis of the experimental system, several algorithms are developed for the interpretation of density, crown closure, working groups and species composition of forest stands. Experiments show that auto—interpretation works well for some forest inventory data.
