Overlapped and shadowed tree crown segmentation based on HSI color model and watershed algoritim

Image provides valuable information to the human and this information could be used to take an effective dissection such as information that comes from satellite sensors. Satellite images let the human have the information from the ground for very wide area. The negative side of satellite image is t...
