متن کاملAirborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point density analysis
The point density is a preeminent parameter on airborne laser scanner surveys. It is not only related to accuracy but costs and savings. The lack of uniformity of the point density across the survey is wellknown in the scientific community. This paper analyzes the behaviour of the point density derived by an oscillating mirror laser scanner on different single strips on flat bare ground in orde...
متن کاملForest Modeling using Airborne Lidar
Building up forest inventories for performing forest management is currently done manually through field cruises and interpretation of the aerial imagery, which is a labor-intensive task. Airborne lidar technology is capable of building a point cloud off the top surface of the ground objects. Modeling urban areas from the lidar has been successfully accomplished. However, for forest modeling, t...
متن کاملAirborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) for Individual Tree Stem Location, Height, and Biomass Measurements
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has demonstrated potential in measuring forest biomass. We assessed the ability of LiDAR to accurately estimate forest total above ground biomass (TAGB) on an individual stem basis in a conifer forest in the US Pacific Northwest region using three different computer software programs and compared results to field measurements. Software programs...
متن کاملMapping Forest Height in Alaska Using GLAS, Landsat Composites, and Airborne LiDAR
Vegetation structure, including forest canopy height, is an important input variable to fire behavior modeling systems for simulating wildfire behavior. As such, forest canopy height is one of a nationwide suite of products generated by the LANDFIRE program. In the past, LANDFIRE has relied on a combination of field observations and Landsat imagery to develop existing vegetation structure produ...
