The Segmentation of Reflectances from Moderate Resolution Remote Sensing Data for the Retrieval of Land Cover Specific Leaf Area Index

Published: July 19, 2007, 11 a.m.

A method is developed to incorporate prior fuzzy knowledge about reflectance behavior of land cover types into the segmentation of reflectances from moderate scale remote sensing data. The procedure is applied to aggregated Landsat TM data and to MODIS data and used to derive land cover type specific leaf area index.
