Estimation of Forest Variables using Airborne Laser Scanning
Holmgren, J. 2003. Estimation of Forest Variables using Airborne Laser Scanning. Doctoral dissertation. Airborne laser scanning can provide three-dimensional measurements of the forest canopy with high efficiency and precision. There are presently a large number of airborne laser scanning instruments in operation. The aims of the studies reported in this thesis were, to develop and validate met...
متن کاملCombining Airborne and Terrestrial Laser Scanning Technologies to Measure Forest Understorey Volume
A critical component of the forest ecosystem, the understorey supports the vast majority of wildlife habitat and total ecosystem floristic diversity. Remote sensing data have been developed to provide information at different scales for surveys of forest ecosystems, but obtaining information about the understorey remains a challenge. As rapid and efficient tools for forest structure attribute e...
متن کاملAssessing Mountain Forest Structure Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Landscape Metrics
Forest structure is a key element to determine the capacity of mountain forests to protect people and their assets against natural hazards. Airborne laser scanning offers new ways for describing forest structure in 3D. This study aimed at developing a generic automated approach for assessing and quantifying forest structure using landscape metrics on height class patches of the normalized crown...
متن کاملArea-based parameterization of forest structure using full-waveform airborne laser scanning data
Small-footprint airborne laser scanning (ALS) is increasingly used in vegetation and forest related applications. This paper explores the potential of full-waveform (FWF) ALS information (i.e. echo width and backscatter cross section) for tree species classification and forest structure parameterization. In order to obtain defined physical quantities, radiometric calibration of the recorded FWF...
متن کامل3d Forest Structure Analysis from Optical and Lidar Data
In Austria about half of the entire area (46 %) is covered by forests. The majority of these are highly managed and controlled in growth. But besides timber production forest ecosystems play a multifunctional role including climate control, habitat provision and, especially in Austria, protection of settlements. The interrelationships among climatic, ecological, social and economic dimensions o...
