| Research Abstract |
The EMEA (Environmental Monitoring in East Asia) project has been designed to promote cooperation in vegetation research with a particular focus on the remote sensing and its ground truth, and consisted of contributions from China, Korea and Japan. It started in 2002, and we had field works, meetings and symposium.
1.Analysis of vegetation using satellite data
Environmental phenomena often exhibit different characteristics depending on the scale of the observations. To detect environmental changes, determination of spatial and temporal resolution is important. To monitor vegetation characteristics, we conducted research by using of a several kinds satellite remote sensing such as NOAA, Landsat or IKONOS.
Temporal change of vegetation was analyzed using NOAA data and spatio-temporal change of vegetation was analyzed using Landsat data. In order to detect individual trees and classify tree species using IKONOS data with 1 m spatial resolution, some image processing techniques were adapted.
2.Field research in China and Korea
We visited northern parts of South Korea in August 2002, northern China in September 2002, and northeastern China in September 2004 and August 2005.
3.Organization of international conferences and symposium
