Detection of Christmas tree plantations from high-resolution aerial imagery. A case study in the French Morvan

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 27, 2026 · UTC

Christmas tree plantations are economically relevant, yet a largely unexplored application domain in Remote Sensing (RS). Their delineation is challenging because of high planting density, short rotation cycles, visual confusion with surrounding vegetation, the availability of dense labels for one reference year only, and severe class imbalance at the landscape scale. Although Deep Learning (DL) methods have shown strong potential for vegetation mapping, existing approaches are typically designed for forests, generic plantation systems, or orchards, and do not explicitly address the structural
