Abstract:

This study examined the relationships between the remote detection data (Landsat ETM+) and the dendrometric elements calculated from the land inventory data (such as the shell, the chest surface, the middle length of the shell, the middle diameter of the shell). To reveal these relationships, 6 original bands (ETM+1-5,7) of Landsat ETM+ and 25 different vegetation index have been tested. The Pearson correlation ratio and scale regression analysis have been used to analyze the relationships between remote detection data and dendrometric variables. The study found that the ETM+5 band had strong ties with all dendrometric elements. It is also observed that the brightness component of TasseledCap conversion, which is not much affected by environmental conditions, the first component of the basic components analysis, albedo and some linear band combinations have very strong statistical relationships with the dendrometric elements of the forest shell (R≥0,8).
