Evaluating the potential of satellite data to classify tree species and multiple stages of tree damages
RU-Science Day 4 June 2013
Situation / goals
Tornado „Doris“ – severe storm & hail; 11 June 2010
> 2000 ha of forest affected / destroyed
=> Focus on detecting multiple stages of tree damages (ash / Scots pine)
=> Which tree species are affected most? (tree species classification)
Which satellite system is most appropriate? (costs, Pros / Cons)

RU-Science Day 4 June 2013
Classification Pre-processing - De-Hazing+Atmospheric Correction
- Original bands & 22 Vegetation indices
- 20 indices (filters, textural & structural)
Signatures (variables)
Validation of prediction: external, independent reference data (polygons)
- Noise reduction
Multinomial log. regression
- Cross-Validation (10-fold)
- Variable selection
- Image segmentations

Conclusions & outlook
Multispectral WorldView-2 have a high potential for classifying: - tree species (7)
- 4 different stages of damaged ash and Scots pine
TerraSAR-X data less (not) appropriate (exceptions)
Calculation of indices significantly (p = 0.01) improved classification accuracies
Reasonable amount of effort regarding data acquisition and pre-processing
Testing aerial images (lower costs, more flexible)
