1. GIS and remote sensing based mapping of microtopography and vegetation composition in a boreal mire complex
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Small scale variations in mire surface elevation referred to as microtopography are fundamental characteristics of mire ecosystems especially in the boreal region. Microtopography commonly classified into hummocks and hollows play a major role in several ecological, hydrological and biogeochemical processes including vegetation composition and carbon and methane dynamics.

2. Forest stand delineation through remote sensing and Object-Based Image Analysis
University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad, GISAbstract : Forest stand delineation is an essential task of forest management planning which can be time consuming and exposed to subjectivity. The increasing availability of LiDAR data and multispectral imagery offers an opportunity to improve stand delineation by means of remotely-sensed data. READ MORE

3. Investigating the potential of object-based image analysis to identify tree avenues in high resolution aerial imagery and lidar data : a literature review
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) for the identification and monitoring of tree avenues with the help of aerial imagery and lidar data. For this, a literature review into three topics was conducted: First, scientific literature in form of journal articles, text books, and reports were used to highlight key features of GEOBIA.

5. Urban classification by pixel and object-based approaches for very high resolution imagery
University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad, GISAbstract : Recently, there is a tremendous amount of high resolution imagery that wasn’t available years ago, mainly because of the advancement of the technology in capturing such images. Most of the very high resolution (VHR) imagery comes in three bands only the red, green and blue (RGB), whereas, the importance of using such imagery in remote sensing studies has been only considered lately, despite that, there are no enough studies examining the usefulness of these imagery in urban applications.
