Required processing:
Pre-processing: orthorectification and georeferencing, Pixel-based classification of the forest, Vectorisation of the edges.
Data requirements:
Georeferenced polygons of forest edges and clearings.
Why using remote sensors?:
In some conflicts, the forests are used to hide the troops making temporary clearings and/or modifying their boundaries.
To improve the SHA delineation, the forest edges at the time of the conflict can be mapped from free archived images covering large areas since the 70's.
