Identify forest characteristics (area, boundaries, timber type, etc.)
Summary:
- High and very high-resolution optical Earth observation data can be used for visual interpretation of forest area, boundary and providing an indication on forest type.
- Existing high-resolution land cover maps such as the European Land Cover map can provide a good indication of the forest area in a region.
Limitations:
- Existing mature EO capabilities focus mostly on detecting the forest area and boundaries. For more detailed characteristics such as timber type etc. no operational EO based methods exist.
Possible Fall-back solutions:
