Image Classication using Wavelets with Application to Forestry

• This work presents methods for image classication using the discrete wavelet transform. Performance of some conventional classication methods is evaluated, throughboth a Monte Carlo study and a real Landsat TM image together with the National Forest Inventory (NFI) eld data, with or without using the wavelet transform. In our evaluation on the real data, the bootstrap is applied to estimate classication errors. The results indicate that the wavelet based method performs best among the methods under study.
