Rapid assessment of forest canopy and light regime using smartphone hemispherical photography
Hemispherical photography (HP), implemented with cameras equipped with "fisheye" lenses, is a widely used method for describing forest canopies and light regimes. A promising technological advance is the availability of low-cost fisheye lenses for smartphone cameras. However, smartphone camera sensors cannot record a full hemisphere. We investigate whether smartphone HP is a cheaper and faster ...
متن کاملBatch Processing of Hemispherical Photography Using Object-based Image Analysis to Derive Canopy Biophysical Variables
Hemispherical photography has received renewed interest to describe plant canopies and measure canopy gap fraction from which important biophysical variables such as leaf area index (LAI) can be derived. This kind of remote sensing imagery is typically processed by setting a threshold on the histogram of a given image feature to segment the image and separate target from non-target pixels. Sele...
متن کاملLeaf area index estimates obtained for mixed forest using hemispherical photography and HyMap data
The Leaf Area Index (LAI) is an important measure in many ecological applications because vegetation-atmosphere processes of the canopy, such as photosynthesis are controlled by the foliage and play an essential role in the carbon cycle. Therefore accurate determination of LAI is of great interest. Forest LAI is difficult to estimate due to the complex structure of the canopy and its high varia...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
The computation of foliage clumping index using hemispherical photography
Hemispherical photography (HP) is extensively used for both canopy architecture such as leaf area index (LAI), and solar radiation regime determinations under forest canopies. This is done mainly by assuming that foliage elements occur in a spatially random manner. However, the majority of world forests occur in heterogeneous ecosystems and topography with rather complex canopy architecture. To...
