Abstract
The study focuses on the utilization of remote sensing data to analyze and detect deforestation patterns, with an emphasis on the extraction of key parameters such as vegetation cover change, forest loss, and land use dynamics. Various image processing methods, encompassing supervised and unsupervised classification, object-based image analysis, and change detection algorithms, are discussed in the context of their applicability to deforestation monitoring. The benefits and limitations of each technique are identified, highlighting the significance of choosing the most appropriate method based on the specific needs of the study area and the required level of accuracy. The paper also explores the incorporation of remote sensing data with geographic information systems (GIS) and other ancillary data sources to enhance the analysis and interpretation of deforestation patterns. The findings from this work contribute to the advancement of remote sensing image processing methods for deforestation monitoring, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field.
