Abstract

Forest types can be adopted as suitable reference for classifying survey units within multipurpose forest resources inventories, at the properly considered level. This kind of hierarchical classification approach integrates an ecologically meaningful per-habitat perspective with practical survey, planning and management requirements. In this study Ikonos and Landsat images were used to differentiate forest coverages by so called soft classifiers: fuzzy maximum likelihood procedure for Ikonos and subpixel unmixing procedure for Landsat. Fuzzy classified images are then contrasyed with forest type map made by photointerpretation of Ikonos imagery. Performances are showed and drawbacks discussed.
