 Last decades permanent researches clarify possibilities for forest resource estimation based on terrestrial measurement and remote sensing. The most often the non- parametrical k-NN method is used integrating local estimates from terrestrial measurement and spectral Landsat data. In this paper the weighting functions of the k- NN related to value differences and distances were examined in a case of high forest in site Konjuh in Bosnia. It is found that weighting Euclidean distance has not resulted with efficiency increase. Procentual RMSE's of growing stock showed higher values for weighted estimates on the pixel level. Classified volume estimates on aggregated level compared with volumes from intensive regular forest inventory achieved moderate level of agreement. The agreements between volume estimates are almost perfect regardless on weighting functions. Obtained results point out unweighted estimates as reported in several cases.
Highlights
Last decades permanent researches clarify possibilities for forest resource estimation based on terrestrial measurement and remote sensing
Past studies in Bosnia resulted with acceptable k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) estimates for growing stock for some planning unit levels (ČABARAVDIĆ, 2007)
In this paper is explored if weighted functions related to value differences and distances would affect estimation efficiency of total growing stock in high forest in Bosnia
Summary
Last decades permanent researches clarify possibilities for forest resource estimation based on terrestrial measurement and remote sensing. Weighted functions in the k-nn estimates of growing stock in high forest in Bosnia Number of studies confirmed acceptable results based on non-parametric estimation method (k-NN) for forest inventory on large area
