[GRASSLIST:8663] supervised classification of forest types

[Dan Gavin]

Dear Users,
Related to my previous query regarding aerial photos:  I wish to 
classify forest cover on back-and-white, leaf-off and snow-on-ground 
photos into deciduous and conifer types, and perhaps patches of 
conifer/deciduous mixes.  I am leaning towards hand-drawing on an 
overlay using a stereoscope, then orthorectifying the overlay. 
However, the prospect of using grayscale and texture and other 
features to automate the process is appealing.  Any suggestions of 
references tackling the same problem would be very helpful.

Many thanks,
Dan
