SUMMARY: In the field of remote sensing the results of research undertaken
with the purpose of determining quantitative and qualitative stand parameters
showed the usefulness of artificial neural networks (Ardö et al. 1997,
Skidmore et al. 1997, Wang & Dong 1997, Moisen & Frescino 2002, Ingram
et al. 2005, Joshi et al. 2006, Kuplich 2006, Verbeke et al. 2006, Klobučar et
al. 2008) as an alternative approach to classical statistical methods.


This paper explores the possibility of estimating and distributing stand
density using methods of artificial neural networks. These methods involve
particular textural features of first and second order histograms on a digital
ortophoto compiled from black and white aerial photographs at an approximate
scale of 1:20,000. The paper is also aimed at collecting data with an acceptable
accuracy, which will reduce material investments. Research
encompassed the area of the MU “Jamaričko Brdo”, Lipovljani forest administration.
Cyclic surveying was conducted in 2000.


In order to determine textural features of first and second order histograms,
a sample was cut out from a digital ortophoto for 80 stand scenes
(compartments/subcompartments) in management classes of pedunculate
oak, sessile oak and common beech of the fourth (the most common), fifth and
sixth age class.


A multi-layer perceptron was used to solve the problem of stand density
estimation. A multi-layer perceptron is a neural network without feedback
connections, where supervised learning is carried out with the error back propagation
algorithm.


An early stopping method was applied to improve generalization. The early
stopping method is a statistical cross-validation method in which the available
data are divided into three sets: training, validation and testing set. Of the overall
dataset, 50 % (or 40 compartments/subcompartments) relates to the training
set, whereas the two remaining datasets were divided equally: 25 % (20
compartments/subcompartments) relate to the validation set and 25 % (20 compartments/
subcompartments) to the testing set.
