Mauritia flexuosa palm trees airborne mapping with deep convolutional neural network

Abstract Accurately mapping individual tree species in densely forested environments is crucial to forest inventory. When considering only RGB images, this is a challenging task for many automatic photogrammetry processes. The main reason for that is the spectral similarity between species in RGB sc...
