Biomass Estimation Using Vertical Forest Structure from Sar Tomograghy: a Case Study in Canadian Boreal Forest
A major goal of current research is to address temporal climatic variations that are related to CO2 emissions. A significant portion of these emissions are due to forest destruction and the resulting conversion of biomass to CO2. As 30% of the earth’s landmass is forest-covered, it is important to understand the biomass content with better estimates than are currently available. This research h...
متن کاملVisualizing and Quantifying Vineyard Canopy LAI Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Collected High Density Structure from Motion Point Cloud
This study explores the use of structure from motion (SfM), a computer vision technique, to model vine canopy structure at a study vineyard in the Texas Hill Country. Using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a digital camera, 201 aerial images (nadir and oblique) were collected and used to create a SfM point cloud. All points were classified as ground or non-ground points. Non-ground points, ...
متن کاملAssessment of Forest Structure Using Two UAV Techniques: A Comparison of Airborne Laser Scanning and Structure from Motion (SfM) Point Clouds
This study investigates the potential of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to measure and monitor structural properties of forests. Two remote sensing techniques, airborne laser scanning (ALS) and structure from motion (SfM) were tested to capture three-dimensional structural information from a small multi-rotor UAV platform. A case study is presented through the analysis of data collected from a...
متن کاملRobust structure from motion using motion parallax
We present an efficient and geometrically intuitive algorithm to reliably interpret the image velocities of moving objects in 3D. It is well known that under weak perspective the image motion of points on a plane can be characterised by an affine transformation. We show that the relative image motion of a nearby noncoplanar point and its projection on the plane is equivalent to motion parallax ...
متن کاملEdge Effects on Forest Composition and Structure
Forest fragmentation arising from modern forestry practices has dramatically increased the amount of edge habitat relative to interior habitat. Edge habitats have unique microenvironments that have the potential to profoundly impact forest communities. In this study, we characterized the forest composition and structure of edge and interior plots within a second growth big leaf maple-Douglas fi...
