Abstract :
We represent the monitoring method of a carbon sink preservation activity for the global warming countermeasure using a high-resolution satellite image. We first investigate the satellite image availability and make a plan of a satellite image acquisition order. Next, we propose the land-use classification using the object-based image analysis to monitor carbon sink forest. Lastly, we apply the technique to the project site in Papua New Guinea.
