| Abstract | This work demonstrates the utility of reduced resolution ALOS Palsar data for biomass mapping and land cover classification over the tropical forests of Indonesia. This study is important because we processed the ALOS Palsar mosaic, which is made freely available within K&C initiatives project and will be updated regularly. We first used 38 sample plots collected on the ground during dry season in September 2004, to develop a tree diameter (dbh) — biomass model. The HH, HV, HV/HH and HH-HV backscatters of ALOS Palsar data allowed the empirical estimation of forest above ground biomass (AGB). Each band of Palsar data was separately used to estimate the biomass, and we found HV band resulted in better correlation with the AGB compared to other SAR bands. Validation of the prediction results was carried out by comparing the biomass estimates with those predicted from an existing allometric equation. Optical data are sensitive to the physical properties of the reflectors whereas SAR data are more influenced by the geometric properties of the scatterers. Therefore, the second part of this study concerned the integration of mosaic SAR textures and ETM data for land cover classification. The classification was conducted using ETM data and variations of ETM, SAR bands, and SAR textures calculated using GLC Matrix. The image classifications were carried out using a Machine Learning based classifier, so-called Support Vector Machine (SVM), and a conventional Maximum Likelihood method. An ensemble of neural networks method using Kalman Filter and scaled conjugate gradient algorithm was applied. The classification accuracy was assessed using confusion matrices and Kappa Statistics. We show that the introduction of SAR textures significantly enhanced the classification accuracies. This study showed that the joint processing of SAR and multispectral data increased the accuracies of biomass estimation and landuse classifications. The efficiency of the method at medium spatial resolutions allows its application of global datasets. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
