Object-based mapping and classification features for tropical highlands using on Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and GEDI canopy height data - A case study of the Muringato catchment, Kenya
Abstract:Tropical highlands remain a challenging target for remote sensing due to their high heterogeneity of the landscape and frequent cloud cover, causing a shortage of high-quality and reliable comprehensive data on land use and land cover on a local or regional scale. These, however, are urgently needed by local stakeholders and decisionmakers. This applies for example to the Muringato sub-catchment in Nyeri County, Kenya, where acute water problems have been identified to be usually directly related to specific l… Show more
