Estimating Forest fAPAR from Multispectral Landsat-8 Data Using the Invertible Forest Reflectance Model INFORM
The estimation of the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation in forests (forest fAPAR) from multi-spectral Landsat-8 data is investigated in this paper using a physically based radiative transfer model (Invertible Forest Reflectance Model, INFORM) combined with an inversion strategy based on artificial neural nets (ANN). To derive the forest fAPAR for the Dabie mountain test s...
متن کاملApplication of Decision-tree Techniques to Forest Group and Basal Area Mapping Using Satellite Imagery and Forest Inventory Data
Accurate, current, and cost-effective fire fuel data are required by management and fire science communities for use in reducing wildland fire hazards over large areas. In this paper we present results of applying decision-tree techniques to mapping vegetation parameters (such as vegetation types and canopy structure classification) required for fire fuel characterization. Specifically, we pres...
متن کاملEstimating Snow Grain Size Using AVIRIS Data
Es t ima te s of snow grain size for the near-surface snow layer were calculated for the Tioga Pass region and Mammoth Mountain in the Sierra Nevada, California, using an inversion technique and data collected by the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (A VIRIS). The inversion method takes advantage of the sensitivity of near-infrared snowpack reflectance to snow grain size. The Tiog...
متن کاملforest stand age classification using landsat etm+ data
classifying age classes in a large area using remotely sensed data has considerable significance for forest sustainable management. in this research, landsat etm+ data from loveh forest, dating july 2002, were analyzed to investigate the potential of this sensor for age class mapping. we applied a systematic cluster sampling method to collect field data. we used 99 plots so that contained 32 pl...
متن کاملArea-based Snow Damage Classification of Forest Canopies Using Bi-temporal Lidar Data
Multitemporal LiDAR data provide means for mapping structural changes in forest canopies. We demonstrate the use of area-based estimation method for snow damage assessment. Change features of bi-temporal LiDAR point height distributions were used as predictors in combination with in situ training data. In the winter 2009−2010, snow damages occurred in Hyytiälä (62°N, 24°E), southern Finland. Sn...
