The methodology for mapping ricefields in Southern France is developed, using 1975 LANDSAT 2 and aircraft data and taking into account the features of the fields.
The author has identified the following significant results. Results show that the available timber is decreasing after 1980. This comes from the corn extension program. Timber volume evaluations are given by biometrical connections between the mean surface of poplar crowns in a plantation and the mean circumference of the same trees taken at 1.30 m. LANDSAT imagery was found sufficient for large field discrimination, but small parcels like market-gardens are not discernible. Discrete operators were used to smooth, sharpen, or detect edges of digital pictures.
There are no author-identified significant results in this report.
