Abstract:

The spectral separability of twelve tropical rain-forest classes was examined in Landsat TM imagery of the Tambopata-Candamo Reserved Zone, south-east Peru. Spatial filtering of the imagery increased inter-class separability, although spectral overlap between the twelve forest classes was such that only four broad forest groups could be separated. These four spectrally separable forest groups appear to be related to forest structure and crown characteristics.
