4.3 Forest Road Detection Since we have derived the Digital Terrain Model of the study area we must detect the forest roads. The centerline of each forest road is required in order to derive road profiles based on which the road technical assessment will be done. For the extraction of the road centerlines we need to detect where exist forest roads on the DTM. More specifically‚ it is needed that the forest road borders are digitized so that these roads will be separated from the rest terrain. The
