Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting trees in aerial imagery are provided. A method for detecting trees in aerial imagery may include training a pixel-level classifier to assign a tree or non-tree label to each pixel in an aerial image. The method may further include segmenting tree and non-tree regions of the labeled pixels. The method may also include locating individual tree crowns in the segmented tree regions using one or more tree templates. A system for detecting trees in aerial imagery may include a trainer, a segmenter and a tree locator.
