Abstract

Over the past three decades, a lot of research has been conducted on remote sensing-based techniques for estimating aboveground biomass (AGB) in forest ecosystems. Due to the complexity of satellite images, the conventional image classification methods have been unable to meet the actual application needs. In our proposed work, the estimation of aboveground biomass has been performed on the basis of a Region of Interest (RoI). Initially, this method is employed to measure the green portions of the areas at the local level. The biomass of the subtropical woods in the areas of India, Indonesia, and Thailand is estimated in this work, using data from Deep Globe LIDAR images. Initially, the satellite images are pre-processed. The ROI method is used to select the green portion of the area. The green portion in the satellite images is segmented using the K-means algorithm and binary classification. An empirical formula is used to calculate the carbon weight. The results obtained show 92% accuracy.
