摘要：Very high resolution images (e.g. IKONOS) and airborne lidar have been used for the automated 3D mapping of individual tree and building locations in a large test area in East London of some 8 x 8km extent with many tens of thousands of buildings and trees. Initial results of the building and tree detection algorithm for small area assessments were given in Kim & Muller (2002). In this work we report on the extension of the algorithm to the full area and the refinement of the algorithm to extract tree height. Also shown will be the building detection's quantitative assessment using the OS. MasterMap. (Parish et al., 2003, submitted) and the random sample assessment of tree locations using higher resolution digitised aerial photography from different commercial suppliers. Overall the detection efficiency is greater than 75% even though the buildings have a huge range in floorplan, height, age and type. Tree detection efficiency is based on a visual assessment of the degree of overstorey crown overlap but has similarly high values
