Abstract
Bamboo mapping in the forest is neglected by the public
and there are only a few research conducted regarding bamboo. Thus,
an assessment of the distribution of bamboo resources is necessary
for the utilization of bamboo and aid in the development of bamboo
product manufacturing. Bamboo is ranked second to rattan in
economic importance in Peninsular Malaysia. The general objective
of this study is to assess the capability of UPM-APSB’s AISA
airborne hyperspectral imaging sensor for bamboo mapping in the
forest while the specific objectives are to identify, quantify and map
out the distribution of natural bamboo growing areas in Berangkat
F.R, Kelantan. A False Colour Composite (FCC) image the study
area was used in the study. Sobel filtering was used to enhance the
image. Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) was then used to classify the
bamboo species among other vegetative species within the Berangkat
F.R. A thematic map of bamboo distribution was produced and the
bamboo species was identified as Gigantochloa scortechnii. The areal
extent of bamboo acreage in the study area was 2.12 ha. With an
estimated bamboo culms of 4 009 at a mapping accuracy of 60%.
Bamboo mapping using UPM-APSB’s AISA airborne hyperspectral
sensing has a great potential and should be integrated with a GISbased
decision support system to support future decision making,
development and utilization of bamboo by Kompleks Perkayuan
Kelantan management.
