Airborne laser scanning based forest inventory for forest management by applying novel metrics and multiple data sources
The aim of this work was to develop airborne laser scanning (ALS) based forest inventory for practical forest management by applying novel horizontal metrics and multiple data sources. In particular, this work examined classification of forest land attributes (study I), prediction of species-specific stand attributes (study II) and detection of spatial pattern of trees (study III) and need for ...
متن کاملSimulating Sampling Efficiency in Airborne Laser Scanning Based Forest Inventory
A simple simulator was developed to test whether airborne laser scanning can be used as a strip sampling tool for forest inventory purposes. The simulator is based on the existing two stages, grid based laser inventory procedure. A population of trees was created using an existing forest stand structure generator. Each tree was represented by means of its 3D-crown model derived from airborne la...
متن کاملAdvances in Forest Inventory Using Airborne Laser Scanning
We present two improvements for laser-based forest inventory. The first improvement is based on using last pulse data for tree detection. When trees overlap, the surface model between the trees corresponding to the first pulse stays high, whereas the corresponding model from the last pulse results in a drop in elevation, due to its better penetration between the trees. This drop in elevation ca...
متن کاملAirborne Laser Scanning – a New Challenge for Forest Inventory and Monitoring of Forest Resources
The use of the newest methods of airborne laser scanning integrated with hyper-spectral satellite systems, provides principally new opportunities for remote sensing of forest cover. High efficiency of laser scanning (up to 100 thousand measurements per second) in combination with sub-meter spatial resolution, high accuracy of a tree stands’ structural parameters detection as well as three-dimen...
متن کاملThe Utility of Image-Based Point Clouds for Forest Inventory: A Comparison with Airborne Laser Scanning
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), also known as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) enables an accurate three-dimensional characterization of vertical forest structure. ALS has proven to be an information-rich asset for forest managers, enabling the generation of highly detailed bare earth digital elevation models (DEMs) as well as estimation of a range of forest inventory attributes (including he...
