Abstract
The aerial-image application is used to digitise the forest boundary line (where present), ground cover on 25 points, single and linear formations of woody species as well as three reference points on each sample plot. Based on the forest boundary line and the ground cover points, it is determined whether the sample plot is a forest plot (forest/non-forest decision). The aerial-image application has been developed at WSL as an ArcGIS Desktop extension.
