Determining leaf area index and leafy tree roughness using terrestrial laser scanning
[1] Vegetation roughness, and more specifically forest roughness, is a necessary component in better defining flood dynamics both in the sense of changes in river catchment characteristics and the dynamics of forest changes and management. Extracting roughness parameters from riparian forests can be a complicated process involving different components for different required scales and flow dept...
متن کاملApplying Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Soil Surface Roughness Assessment
Terrestrial laser scanning can provide high-resolution, two-dimensional sampling of soil surface roughness. While previous studies demonstrated the usefulness of these roughness measurements in geophysical applications, questions about the number of required scans and their resolution were not investigated thoroughly. Here, we suggest a method to generate digital elevation models, while preserv...
متن کاملDescribing Forest Stands Using Terrestrial Laser-scanning
A method for extracting forest parameters is described in this paper. The 3D point clouds derived from phase difference laser scanners in forests were processed in a step-wise separation. The first step contains basic filter methods to reduce raw data which, separates isolated points or deletes those artefacts resulting from the ambiguity problem. The next step includes using algorithms to isol...
متن کاملMulti-temporal terrestrial laser scanning for modeling tree biomass change
Above ground biomass (AGB) is a crucial ecological variable and has to be accurately estimated to understand potential changes of the climate system and to reduce uncertainties in the estimates of forest carbon budget. The overall goal of this research is to estimate tree level AGB change using multi-temporal terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) datasets for trees in East Texas. Specific objectives...
متن کاملTree Stem and Height Measurements using Terrestrial Laser Scanning and the RANSAC Algorithm
Terrestrial laser scanning is a promising technique for automatic measurements of tree stems. The objectives of the study were (1) to develop and validate a new method for the detection, classification and measurements of tree stems and canopies using the Hough transformation and the RANSAC algorithm and (2) assess the influence of distance to the scanner on the measurement accuracy. Tree detec...
