Potential of Airborne Laser Scanning Data for Classification of Wadden Sea Areas
The classification and mapping of habitats in Wadden Sea areas is an important issue of marine monitoring. In the framework of a German research project, we investigate different modern remote sensing data for this task. In this paper, our focus is on the potential of airborne laser scanning data for the classification. Therefore, we use Conditional Random Fields (CRF), a probabilistic supervis...

متن کاملExtracting Canopy Surface Texture from Airborne Laser Scanning Data for the Supervised and Unsupervised Prediction of Area-Based Forest Characteristics
Area-based analyses of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data are an established approach to obtain wall-to-wall predictions of forest characteristics for vast areas. The analyses of sparse data in particular are based on the height value distributions, which do not produce optimal information on the horizontal forest structure. We evaluated the complementary potential of features quantifying the t...
متن کاملAlgorithms and Methods of Airborne Laser Scanning for Forest Measurements
Extracting forest variables from airborne laser scanner has less than 10 years of history. During that time, however, a new area in the field of forest studies has emerged. This paper describes existing algorithms and methods of airborne laser scanning that are used for forest measurements. The methods are divided into the following categories: 1) extraction of DTM (digital terrain model), 2) e...
متن کاملAirborne laser scanning based forest inventory for forest management by applying novel metrics and multiple data sources
The aim of this work was to develop airborne laser scanning (ALS) based forest inventory for practical forest management by applying novel horizontal metrics and multiple data sources. In particular, this work examined classification of forest land attributes (study I), prediction of species-specific stand attributes (study II) and detection of spatial pattern of trees (study III) and need for ...
