This paper aims to use unique features of hyperspectral data on an automatic process for outlining individual tree crowns (ITCs) in a tropical forest area, with special focus on semi-deciduous species. In order to enhance biophysical and biochemical properties of canopy species, a set of vegetation indices were computed. These indices served as input for a region growing segmentation algorithm that takes into account mutual similarity of pixels and spectral separability between neighbor segments. Segmentation output was evaluated on the basis of a score computed with the proportion of the area of the segments located within manually delineated ITCs. Results show that the segmentation approach is able to automatically delineate up to 70% of the control ITCs.
