Structural units are clearly visible in the image as polygons. After classification, we obtain the result shown in Figure 4. In the final step of updating the polygon attribute database, the forest cover change polygons of Figure 4 are exported to the GIS data. The segments are clearly visible in this result prior to classification. Old growth appears as dark gray, younger vegetation areas appear as lighter shades of gray, and recent cut-blocks and rock outcrops appear as white.
Water appears as black.
