Analysis of area level and unit level models for small area estimation in forest inventories assisted with LiDAR auxiliary information
Forest inventories require estimates and measures of uncertainty for subpopulations such as management units. These units often times hold a small sample size, so they should be regarded as small areas. When auxiliary information is available, different small area estimation methods have been proposed to obtain reliable estimates for small areas. Unit level empirical best linear unbiased predic...
متن کاملInversion of Forest Leaf Area Index Based on Lidar Data
Leaf area index (LAI) is an important parameter of vegetation ecosystems, which can reflect the growth status of vegetation, and its inversion result has important significance on forestry system. The inversion values of forest LAI exists a certain deviation using traditional method. The airborne LiDAR technology adopts a new type of aerial earth observation method and makes it possible to esti...
متن کاملUsing Small Area Estimation and Lidar-derived Variables for Multivariate Prediction of Forest Attributes
Small area estimation (SAE) techniques have been successfully applied in forest inventories to provide reliable estimates for domains where the sample size is small (i.e. small areas). Previous studies have explored the use of either Area Level or Unit Level Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Predictors (EBLUPs) in a univariate framework, modeling each variable of interest at a time, and not consid...
متن کاملForest Volume and Biomass Estimation Using Small-Footprint Lidar-Distributional Parameters on a Per-Segment Basis
This study assessed a lidar-based, object-oriented (segmentation) approach to forest volume and aboveground biomass modeling. The study area in the Piedmont physiographic region of Virginia is composed of temperate coniferous, deciduous, and mixed stands. Segmentation objects, hierarchical in terms of area and ranging from 0.035 to 5.632 ha/object, were created using a lidar-derived canopy heig...
متن کاملExperiment of Estimating Forest Stand Volume with Lidar Technology
In this paper, LiDAR was introduced in tree height and stand volume measure. By experiment, the average of trees’ height was 8.68 meter measured by LIDAR, while the actual value was 8.67; the relative error between them was 0.913% which showed positive correlation. Then we fitted the relationship of tree height and stand volume with different coefficient methods. From quadratic polynomial to si...
