Abstract
Statistical pattern-recognition methods are applied to the classificat ion of the reflectance spectra of growing trees (Scots pine, Norway sp ruce, and birch). We show by using large training sets that it is poss ible to develop classification filters that are able to discriminate t he tree types with a very high probability. Our approach may offer a r eference coordinate system for multispectral remote sensing of differe nt levels of forest damage.
