Tropical Forests of Réunion Island Classified from Airborne Full-Waveform LiDAR Measurements
From an unprecedented experiment using airborne measurements performed over the rich forests of Réunion Island, this paper aims to present a methodology for the classification of diverse tropical forest biomes as retrieved from vertical profiles measured using a full-waveform LiDAR. This objective is met through the retrieval of both the canopy height and the Leaf Area Index (LAI), obtained as ...
متن کاملTerrain Roughness Parameters from Full-waveform Airborne Lidar Data
As an active remote sensing technique airborne laser scanning (ALS) is able to capture the topography with high precision even for densely forested areas. Due to the high pulse repetition frequency of up to 400 kHz a high sampling rate on the ground can be achieved, which allows the description of the terrain surface in decimeter scale. In this contribution two approaches to characterize terrai...
متن کاملMorphological characterization of full waveform airborne LiDAR data Context
The main principle of remote sensing LiDAR is to send a laser pulse from a transmitter and to analyze the backscattered signal (in particular its largest amplitude) to reconstruct the 3D position of the encountered objects (to which the intensity of the wave is generally associated). Using airborne LiDAR, it is possible to obtain a series of 3D positions whose analysis is extremely interesting ...
متن کاملDetecting tropical forest biomass dynamics from repeated airborne Lidar measurements
ha or more. Our results indicate that the 50-ha BCI plot lost a significant amount of 20 biomass (−0.8±2.2Mgha−1 yr−1) over the past decade (2000–2010). Over the entire island and during the same period, mean AGB change is −0.4±3.7Mgha−1 yr−1. Old growth forests lost biomass (−0.7±3.5Mgha−1 yr−1), whereas the secondary forests gained biomass (+0.4±3.4Mgha−1 yr−1). Our analysis demonstrates that...
متن کاملDelineation of Vegetation and Building Polygons from Full- Waveform Airborne Lidar Data Using Opals Software
Full-waveform LiDAR is an active remote sensing technique that provides the scattering properties of the targets i.e. amplitude and echo width (EW) in addition to 3D point clouds. The amplitude provides information on the target's reflectance and the EW is a measure for the range variation of scatterers within the laser footprint contributing to a single echo and is, therefore, an indicator for...
