Automatic production of GIS information with eCognition using high resolution aerial ortho-photos. High resolution ortho-photo (RGB) Exportable classification results: subset subset 0 250 500 [m] Processing time: 19 sec/ha 2006 trees/ha 1844 trees/ha precision: + - 5% (compared with visual count) subset

Slide31: 

Data Transfer Automatic, protocol operated data analysis export of classification results as vector data (point-shapes) eCognition: Geoinformation system (e.g. ArcGIS): import of vector data design of thematic maps
