This article investigates the method of estimating tree distances using variations in the skyline of landscape photos. By extracting skyline height and applying various metrics, the study reveals distance-related information.
Approximate distance estimation can be used to determine fundamental landscape properties including complexity and openness. We show that variations in the skyline of landscape photos can be used to estimate distances to trees on the horizon. A methodology based on the variations of the skyline has been developed and used to investigate potential relationships with the distance to skyline objects. The skyline signal, defined by the skyline height expressed in pixels, was extracted for a set of 148 Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey (LUCAS) landscape photos. Photos were semantically segmented with DeepLabV3+ trained with the Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset. This provided pixel-level classification of the objects forming the skyline. A Conditional Random Fields (CRF) algorithm was also applied to increase the details of the skyline signal. Three metrics, able to capture the skyline signal variations, were then considered for the analysis. These metrics shows a functional relationship with distance for the class of trees, whose contours have a fractal nature. In particular, regression analysis was performed against 475 ortho-photo based distance measurements, and, in the best case, a R(2 )score equal to 0.47 was achieved. This is an encouraging result which shows the potential of skyline variation metrics for inferring distance related information.
