| Research Abstract |
Airborne remote sensing was implemented to acquire land surface information including thermal infrared data, and then surface temperatures of tree crown were extracted from the thermal infrared data. The characteristics of radiant environment of each tree crown were classified into several categories using a numerical simulation on heat environment, and the tree crown which can be used for the analysis was extracted. Through the study, a method to generate air temperature distribution map from thermal infrared image taken for urbanized area was developed. Besides, the condition of urban heat island and the feature of heat environment were discussed using the air temperature distribution map acquired in this study.
