Global Forest Classification Using Jers And Tandem Ers Data
One of the main objectives of the remote sensing, and the scientific community in general, is the development of models and algorithms that are applicable at the global scale. This is especially true for improving methods of forest inventory for carbon accounting. A forest classification scheme base...
