This study aims to investigate -with the use of a GIS- quantitative indices for the automatic evaluation and classification of landscape scenic quality using digital ground photographs. Based on the texture indices that are commonly used in landscape ecology, quantitative indices are selected and the results from the application of these indices to a sample of ground photographs are described in this paper. Furthermore, this paper investigates the effectiveness of the selected indices as to the classification of the landscape's scenic quality, while the results are compared to the results derived from a research programme. Based on the comparison, comments and suggestions are presented for further investigation. The main conclusion of the investigation is that texture indices are sensitised in the landscape's scenic quality, a fact that is positive and encouraging enough in order to pursue further research for the development of an evaluation and classification model.
