Detection of Individual Tree Crowns in Airborne Lidar Data
Laser scanning provides a good means to collect information on forest stands. This paper presents an approach to delineate single trees automatically in small footprint light detection and ranging (lidar) data in deciduous and mixed temperate forests. In rasterized laser data possible tree tops are detected with a local maximum filter. Afterwards the crowns are delineated with a combination of ...
متن کاملAdaptive Mean Shift-Based Identification of Individual Trees Using Airborne LiDAR Data
Identifying individual trees and delineating their canopy structures from the forest point cloud data acquired by an airborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) has significant implications in forestry inventory. Once accurately identified, tree structural attributes such as tree height, crown diameter, canopy based height and diameter at breast height can be derived. This paper focuses on a n...
متن کاملA linear regression method for tree canopy height estimation using airborne lidar data
Tree canopy height is one of the most fundamental measurements in forest inventory and is a critical variable in the quantitative assessment of tree (or stand) volume, forest biomass, carbon stocks, growth, and site productivity. In this study, we analyzed two traditional methods for tree canopy height estimation and designed a new linear regression method for improved tree canopy height estima...
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 کاملEstimating biomass of individual pine trees using airborne lidar
Airborne lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) is a proven technology that can be used to accurately assess aboveground forest biomass and bio-energy feedstocks. The overall goal of this study was to develop a method for assessing aboveground biomass and component biomass for individual trees using airborne lidar data in forest settings typical for loblolly pine stands (Pinus taeda L.) in the sou...
