Abstract :
This paper presents techniques for automatic analysis forest regions using radar and optical orbital instruments. Input data were the images of Altai regions territories obtained with RESURS-01 MSU-E, RESURS-F1M, SIR-C/L-SAR (total power, HH, HV,VV), and also the NOAA-AVHRR radiometer data. The resolution of SAR images was around 25 m per pixel. The textural and polarization properties of SAR images were used as additional information. The results were supplemented by classification of images MSU-E and RESURS-FIM by synchronous ground measurements
