High Resolution Airbone Hyperspectral Data for Mapping of Ramin Distribution in Peat Swamp Forest

This book focuses on the analysis of airbone hyperspectral data to discriminate individual Gonystylus bancanus trees in the peat swamp forest at Pekan Forest Reserve, Pahang. The book, as far as possible, provides information on the G. bancanus distribution pattern in the study area and also the estimation of volume for each of the individual trees.

The book is divided into five chapters. The first provides an insight into the need for the study. Chapter 2 is a brief explanation about the hyperspectral system, data acquisition technique and spectral signature data measurement. Chapter 3 of the book highlights the methodologies used and presents the data. Chapter 4 focuses on the data analysis and interpretation of the results. Chapter 5 the final chapter, concludes the book and provides some recommendations for future studies.
