Using the regression estimator with Landsat data to estimate proportion forest cover and net proportion deforestation in Gabon

2014-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Forest cover maps were produced for the Gabonese Agency for Space Studies and Observations (AGEOS) for 1990, 2000 and 2010 for an area of approximately 102,000km2 corresponding to 38% of the total area of Gabon and representative of the range of human pressure on forest resources. The maps were constructed using a combination of a semi-automated classification procedure and manual enhancements to ensure the greate...
