DEVELOPING FOREST TYPE CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGY USING KOMPSAT IMAGE BASED ON TASSELED CAP TRANSFORMATION

Recently there are many pilot studies for advanced application of first Korea national high resolution satellite image, which is called as KOMPSAT-MSC (Korean Multi-purpose Satellite-Multi-Spectral Camera), in Korea. In this study the forest type classification methodology is developed and its distribution map was constructed by applying high resolution satellite image, KOMPSAT-MSC, based on Tasseled Cap Transformation, especially through comparing the result of detailed filed surveying such as forest type, tree species, tree diameter, tree age and tree crown density in pilot study area.
