Modelling Canopy Gap Fraction from Lidar Intensity
We reconstruct the vertical pulse power distribution returned from a commercial small footprint discrete pulse airborne laser terrain mapper within a mixed forest landscape. By modifying a Beer-Lambert approach, we relate the ratio of ground return power / total return power to the canopy gap fraction (P) as derived from digital hemispherical photography (DHP). The results are compared to the c...
متن کاملEstimating Canopy Gap Fraction Using ICESat GLAS within Australian Forest Ecosystems
Spaceborne laser altimetry waveform estimates of canopy Gap Fraction (GF) vary with respect to discrete return airborne equivalents due to their greater sensitivity to reflectance differences between canopy and ground surfaces resulting from differences in footprint size, energy thresholding, noise characteristics and sampling geometry. Applying scaling factors to either the ground or canopy po...
متن کاملHybrid measurement-based WCET analysis using instrumentation point graphs
Precise operation of real-time systems depends on functionally correct computations that are delivered within imposed timing constraints. These temporal requirements are often modelled and verified assuming a priori knowledge of the Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) of each task. Due to complexities resolving the actual WCET, estimates normally suffice. These estimates should be safe, so as not ...
متن کاملA New Look at Top-of-canopy Gap Fraction Measurements from High-resolution Airborne Imagery
This study is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of a large-scale leaf area index (LAI) inversion using high resolution airborne imagery without calibrating using ground based measurements. The study area is located in the Gatineau Park, Southern Quebec, Canada. The developed methods are evaluated in relatively high forest cover where remote sensing retrieval of biophysical parameters is co...
متن کاملSimulating Canopy Gap Fraction of Complex 3d Forest Scenes of Picea Sitchensis (sitka Spruce)
We present an application of 3D canopy modelling for assessing the structural accuracy of complex 3D structural models of Sitka spruce. Such models can be used to simulate canopy reflectance at the landscape-scale with a minimum number of assumptions. Typically, however, the underlying canopy structural models require a large number of parameters, many of which are hard to measure and so must b...
