Abstract: 
A new topographic correction method of multizonal space image data for the classification of forest cover in mountainous terrain is developed. The method was tested by the classification of forests of Western Sayani mountain areas, Siberia with the use of the Landsat-7 ETM image data. It is shown that the topographical correction essentially improves classification results.
Keywords: mountainous terrain, space image data, topographic correction method
