Tree Counting and Forest Biomass Estimation

This project focuses on the automated counting of trees and estimation of forest biomass using satellite images.

Project Structure

The project is organized into the following main directories:

1. Forest Biomass Estimation

This directory contains the implementation of biomass estimation based on a specific equation from the study "Equation to estimate tree biomass in tropical forests of Costa Rica".

2. Data Package

This directory includes test data for verifying the performance of the DeepForest model, consisting of annotated images and metadata.

3. DeepForest Crown Tree Detector

This directory holds the implementation of the DeepForest model for detecting and counting tree crowns. It includes necessary scripts and installation instructions.

4. Tree Counting and Biomass Calculation GUI

This directory contains a Python script implementing a GUI for loading satellite images and using a machine learning model to count trees and calculate biomass.

5. Tree Crown Counting Image Processing Filters

This directory includes various image processing scripts for enhancing input images to improve the tree crown counting model's performance.

6. Main

This directory contains the main script for running the entire application.

Installation

To install and set up the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:
