Forest canopy density and height are used as variables in a number of environmental applications. These applications include the estimation of biomass, forest extent and condition, and biodiversity. Canopy density, or canopy cover, is the ratio of vegetation to ground as seen from the air. FOREST CANOPY DENSITY ESTIMATING, USING SATELLITE IMAGES.
