The Potential Impact of Vertical Sampling Uncertainty on ICESat-2/ATLAS Terrain and Canopy Height Retrievals for Multiple Ecosystems
With a planned launch no later than September 2018, the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) will provide a global distribution of geodetic elevation measurements for both the terrain surface and relative canopy heights. The Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument on-board ICESat-2 is a LiDAR system sensitive to the photon level. The photon-counting techno...
متن کاملEstimates of forest canopy height and aboveground biomass using ICESat
[1] Exchange of carbon between forests and the atmosphere is a vital component of the global carbon cycle. Satellite laser altimetry has a unique capability for estimating forest canopy height, which has a direct and increasingly well understood relationship to aboveground carbon storage. While the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) onboard the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICE...
متن کاملCanopy Height Estimation in French Guiana with LiDAR ICESat/GLAS Data Using Principal Component Analysis and Random Forest Regressions
Estimating forest canopy height from large-footprint satellite LiDAR waveforms is challenging given the complex interaction between LiDAR waveforms, terrain, and vegetation, especially in dense tropical and equatorial forests. In this study, canopy height in French Guiana was estimated using multiple linear regression models and the Random Forest technique (RF). This analysis was either based o...
متن کاملA Comparison of Forest Biophysical Parameters Assessed with Lidar Data on Three Platforms: Ground, Airborne, and Satellite
7 Lidar remote sensing from three platforms – ground, airborne, and spaceborne – has 8 the capability to acquire direct three-dimensional measurements of the forest canopy that 9 are useful for estimating a variety of forest inventory parameters, including tree height, 10 volume, and biomass, and also for deriving useful information for characterizing wildlife 11 habitat or forest fuels. 12 The...
متن کاملRetrieving canopy height and density of paddy rice from Radarsat-2 images with a canopy scattering model
Quantification of rice biophysical properties is important not only for rice growth monitoring and cropping management, but for understanding carbon cycle in agricultural ecosystems. In this study, a rice canopy scattering model (RCSM) was firstly utilized to simulate rice backscatter with a root mean square error (RMSE) <1 dB in comparison with the C-band, HH-polarization Radarsat-2 images. An...
