Estimating Forest Canopy Height using Photon-counting Laser Altimetry
Reliable global estimates of forest biomass and its dynamics are critically important for understanding the global carbon cycle and its dynamics (e.g., Bellassen et al. 2011). Many studies have been published regarding the estimation of above-ground biomass using airborne or satellite analog lidar systems (e.g., Nelson et al. 1988; Naesset 2002; Drake et al. 2003; Popescu et al. 2003; Lim and T...
متن کاملEstimating vegetation height and canopy cover from remotely sensed data with machine learning
6 High quality information on forest resources is important to forest ecosystem management. Tra7 ditional ground measurements are labor and resource intensive and at the same time expensive 8 and time consuming. For most of the Slovenian forests, there is extensive ground-based infor9 mation on forest properties of selected sample locations. However there is no continuous infor10 mation of obje...
متن کاملEstimating Canopy Height of Montane Cool Temperate Forest Using Large-footprint Spaceborne Lidar
Estimation of forest carbon storage is a critical challenge for understanding the global carbon cycle because it dominates the dynamics of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system has a unique capability for estimating accurately forest canopy height, which has a direct relationship and can provide better understood to the aboveground carbon storage. To test the ...
متن کاملClustering of Point Patterns Derived from Lidar Canopy Height Data
High intensity canopy height LIDAR data affords model-based estimation of tree locations. The analysis of spatial point patterns is a natural extension of this modeling capability. Identification of within-stand clusters (features) of trees deviating significantly in height from those of surrounding trees (clutter) is important for inventory and forest management purposes. We demonstrate a nonp...
متن کاملPredicting Forest Stand Height and Canopy Cover from LANDSAT and LIDAR data using decision trees
With 57,4 % of the national territory covered by forests[7], Slovenia is one of the most forested countries of the European Union. Forests represent the most important CO2 sink for Slovenia in the framework of the Kyoto protocol to the United Nations convention on climate change, predominantly due to accumulation of forest biomass. Only one quarter of the annually accumulated aboveground biomas...
