Abstract—This study proposes estimating resource distribution using coarse and comprehensive satellite images in order to utilize woody biomass. Woody biomass has potential and there is a large amount of unused forest. Therefore, determining the location and quantity of forest resources is important. Lfand-cover classification is beneficial for finding forest. For such classification, using high-resolution remote-sensing images has the disadvantages of high cost and narrow range. This study used Landsat 8, which provides free coarse satellite images and employed experimental land-cover classification using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). In addition, this study selected an optimum combination of satellite images. The proposed method was implemented in order to develop a resource-distribution map reflecting latitude and longitude in an unknown forest region. As a result, this study determined the quantity and location of biomass and demonstrated the capability of coarse satellite images.
