Model-based Integration of Insar and Lidar for Canopy Structure
In this work we present a model-based approach to sensor fusion that produces detailed information on vegetation structure and aboveground biomass for terrestrial ecology studies related to the carbon cycle and biodiversity. We integrate lidar data with polarimetric and interferometric SAR data in a joint optimization framework using a combination of physics-based and empirically derived sensor...
متن کاملCanopy Reflectance, Photosynthesis, and Transpiration. III. A Reanalysis Using Improved Leaf Models and a New Canopy Integration Scheme
1 h e theoretwal analyses of Sellers (1985, 1987), which hnked canopy spectral reflectance properties to (unstressed) photosynthetw rates and conductances, are cmtwally remewed and significant shortcomings are ~dent~fied These are addressed m thin article principally through the incorporation of a more sophmtwated and reahstw treatment of leaf phystological processes within a new canopy integra...
متن کاملThe canopy surface and stand development: assessing forest canopy structure and complexity with near-surface altimetry
A first-return laser rangefinder deployed from a low-flying helicopter provided inexpensive, repeatable, and high-resolution measurements of the shape of the outer forest canopy in stands of four successional stages on the Maryland coastal plain. The traces of canopy height in these stands revealed structural characteristics such as cover, maximum and mean heights which were consistent with cor...
متن کاملIntroducing the improved Forest Canopy density (FCD) model for frequent assessment of Hyrcanian forest
Mapping of forest extent is a prerequisite to acquire quantitative and qualitative information about forests and to formulate management and conservation strategies. forest canopy density (FCD) model is one of the useful RS methods for forest mapping using satellite images. One of the most serious challenges in FCD model is the weakness in the calculation of canopy density in low density forest...
متن کاملImproving operational land surface model canopy evapotranspiration in Africa using a direct remote sensing approach
Climate change is expected to have the greatest impact on the world’s economically poor. In the Sahel, a climatically sensitive region where rain-fed agriculture is the primary livelihood, expected decreases in water supply will increase food insecurity. Studies on climate change and the intensification of the water cycle in sub-Saharan Africa are few. This is due in part to poor calibration of...
