6. CONCLUSIONSA methodological approach to <strong>tree</strong> <strong>counting</strong> was developed andsuccessfully applied to a test area of planted forest.Remote sensing and image processing techniques can aid thedefinition of the number of <strong>tree</strong> within Eucalyptus plantations.Compared to other studies, our approach produced satisfactoryresults in terms of commission and omission errors.Simple and well known approaches to image processing aresuitable for <strong>tree</strong> <strong>counting</strong>. Image enhancement <strong>using</strong> the Lee filterimproved the performance of the ISODATA algorithm facilitating theclassification of top <strong>tree</strong> crowns.
