Texture Analysis for Images with Forested Areas

The information on the structure of the forest has been of high interest for a long time, being related to the possibilities of maximizing the wood production in the conditions of ensuring ecological stability, but also of detecting and preventing illegal deforestation. The main objective of this paper is the texture analysis of forested areas from remote images, obtained by UAV. The forested area will be highlighted by separating it from the rest (background image). To achieve this goal, efficient texture features will be used such as: fractal dimension, lacunarity, LBP histogram, mean intensity and contrast. The obtained accuracy of 90.5% is a good result in the conditions of some real images.
