基于TM影像和统计分析的林分参数估测研究

林业研究中的主要兴趣点之一在于通过经验或半经验模型建立林分参数与遥感影像数据间的相互关系来估测林分参数.基于覆盖美国佛罗里达州东北Duval县的遥感数据和两块样地清查数据,论文探讨了所选林分参数与TM影像光谱DN值间的相关性.相关性分析结果表明,单波段或植被指数对林分参数的解释能力低于50%,为此构建了林分参数与影像多波段间多元回归模型来估测林分参数.预测结果通过另一组数据验证,除林分密度外,其它参数估测可信度达75%以上.论文最后探讨了预测模型不足和需改进的地方,并指出该研究有助于更好地理解影像光谱值和林分参数间的关系.图1表2参9.

Estimation of forest parameters based on TM imagery and statistical analysis

One of the primary forestry research interests lies in estimating forest stand parameters by applying empirical or semi-empirical model to establish the relationship between the forest stand parameters and remote sensing data. Using remote sensing image and the inven-tory data from 2 compartments in northeast Florida,U.S.A.,this paper explored the correlation between forest stand parameters and Landsat TM spectral digital number (DN) value. Results showed that less than 50% of the total variance could be explained by linear regression models with only either a single band or such vegetation indices as vegetation index (VI) or normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as predicators. In consequence,multi-linear regression models which synthesized more predicators were introduced to estimate forest pa-rameters. Regression results were tested in terms of the other group of data,and verification showed a better capability of explaining over 75% variance except for forest density. The weakness and further improvement of prediction models were also discussed in the article. This paper is expected to provide a better understanding of the relationship between TM spectral and forest characteristics
