Abstract

This Paper Presents, an Image Processing Method for counting the number of trees in a High Spatial Resolution Satellite Image using Texture Approach. A hierarchical strategy is followed for detect, delineate and counting the trees in an image. Texture Approach Algorithm converts the RS Image in to HSI Image for more qualitatively analyze the image data. Image delineation is done approximately for using existing methods and also not gives the accurate tree count. This Algorithm gives accurate image delineation and also gives accurate tree count with the usage of Structured Element in Image. The fundamental process of an algorithm, simulation results are explained with image examples and limitations are discussed.
