Why is it important?
we propose an approach to delineate and map the crown of 15 tree species in the city of Duhok, Kurdistan Region of Iraq using WorldView-2 (WV-2) imagery.
Perspectives
I hope the presented methods in this article encourage people to develop and enhance the methodology with a less efforts. This article presented a good results as the overall accuracy was between 60.93% to 88.92% and κ-coefficient was between 0.57 to 0.75. This lead to identify 15 tree species in urban area of Duhok, Kurdsitan Region-Iraq.
