HOW I CAN COUNT NUMBER OF TREE IN THIS IMAGE? please help me.

my image is jpg format. I need to count the number of tree with matlab coding. please help and guide me if any one has code I appreciate if share with me THANKS

I don't see any trees. It looks all white to me. Where is a tree, any tree?

these trees are oil palm. image are taken by UAV

Ana - in order to attach your image you must first choose the file and then press the Attach File button.

thanks Geoff

Ana Li:

I've inserted the image with the green and brown frame icon so that it's immediately visible here without people having to use something like Photoshop to open the file, which is what they have to do if you use the paper clip icon instead of the green and brown frame icon.

[Ana li]

yes, I see. thanks for supporting us.

Ana li:

There is no such tree counting capability in MATLAB. There's "tree bagging" but that's s completely different concept. So that means you'll have to build up your tree counting application from other lower level routines in the Image Processing and/or Computer Vision System Toolbox. However all is not lost. There are algorithms that have been published. See section "22.5.8 Trees, Individual Trees, Tree Crowns" here in Vision Bib

22.5.8 Trees, Individual Trees, Tree Crowns
    22.5.8.1 Trees, Forest, Stem Volume, Biomass Measurements
    22.5.8.2 Forest Extraction, Forest Analysis
        22.5.8.2.1 Forest Analysis, Depth, LiDAR, Laser Scanner, IFSAR 
    22.5.8.3 Forest Fire Evaluation, Wildfire Analysis, Fire Detection, Fire Damage Assessment
    22.5.8.4 Forest Change Evaluation, Change Detection, Temporal Analysis

Drill down to get citations for specific papers. Then pick one and code it up in MATLAB.

[Ana li]

Are there articles? is there any code inside them?

[Ana li]

I have one article related to my work. could you check it?

[Ana li]

I need guide to code the steps.

[Image Analyst]

No, sorry. As interesting as it might be, I've got my day job leading image analysis for one of the world's largest companies so I just don't have the time for in-depth development of non-work-related projects. Good luck though.

[Ana li]

do you have any experience about SIFT algorithm for mosaicking image in matlab. I have code for mosaicking two images but my images are more than two. do you have any suggestion? thanks for time to reply us

[Image Analyst]

I haven't used it because I don't have that toolbox. Is that what you found one of the papers used? Dima is here and I think he's on the Computer Vision toolbox team, so post a new question with a subject line saying something about using sift to find trees in an orchard, and list the product as the Computer Vision System Toolbox and he might answer.

[Ana li]

Actually I need SIFT algorithm for merge image not for finding tree. I already post a question about SIFT algorithm. Could I tag the name of Dima on my question?

[Ana li]

I have a code for mosaicking two images with SIFT algorithm in Matlab but my images are more than two. I need a professional person to help me to modify it.

[Image Analyst]

Depending on the level of involvement needed by the professional person, you could call technical support (for something that takes just a few minutes) or you could hire the Mathworks consulting folks (for a job that takes a day or more). Normally we don't tag with someone's specific name. I think Dima will see it as I think he looks over all the Computer Vision posts though it might take a day or two.
