Voting based Tree Detection from Satellite Images

As satellite images cover wide areas and obtaining them has become easier, using these images in agriculture has become an important research area. Especially, satellite images can be used in seasonal crop estimation. Obtaining the number of trees in a region, with the size of each tree, gives the approximate amount of crop that can be harvested from that region. In this study, we propose a voting based method on grayscale satellite images. To test the proposed method, we picked eight satellite images containing 2668 trees. We summarized the obtained results in this study.
