In this paper

with a real example

we examined the images of Band C of the imported Airborne Synthetic Aperture Side-Looking Radar and the errors in scales

points

lines and areas in different regions in case of different geomorphological conditions. Additionally

based on the features of the radar images

land and forest type classification systems and markings for interpretation are set up. Experimental work is conducted on interpretation of land and forest types as well as forest regionalizations. The results show

as for as the images concerned

they possess considerable geometric accuracy and provide better information on boundary and compartmental lines and the ability of distinguish for land and forest types. Therefore

they are considered to have practical value in forest resources inventory and dynamic monitoring.
