  14. UK Carbon inventory • Pilot study to be run in two areas - • objective to roll out for 2008 and 2012 (Kyoto) • opportunity to ground truth remote sensing estimates

  15. tree tops Automatic production of GIS information with eCognition using high resolution aerial ortho-photos. subset subset subset 1844 trees/ha 2006 trees/ha 0 250 500 [m] High resolution ortho-photo (RGB) Exportable classification results: Processing time: 19 sec/ha precision: + - 5% (compared with visual count)

  16. Data Transfer eCognition: Geoinformation system (e.g. ArcGIS): • import of vector data • design of thematic maps • Automatic, protocol operated data analysis • export of classification results as vector data (point-shapes)
