Zhang Youjing Fang Youqing. K-T TRANSFORMATION’S FORESTRY SIGNIFICANCE AND APPLICATION OF IT TO REMOTELY SENSED ESTIMATE OF STAND VOLUME[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 1992, (3): 163-171. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.1992021.
K-T transformation’s forestry significance is discussed in this paper. The idea of the transformation can be applied to the forestry analysis. On the K-T feature space
the forestry significance is obvious and the forest is of higher greeness
wettness and lower brightness. And it occupies relative fixed place. By this specific property
forest and its environment characteristic can be described with their reflective spectrum.In this paper
remotely semsed estimate model of stand volume is developed with K-T transformation’s features in Linan county
Zhcjiang province. It includes forest and environment characteristic
and is of physical meaning. The model is demonstrated satisfactorily by the experiments. The average estimate precise of stand volume is 90% for the primary stand classes
