Effects of Percent Tree Canopy Density and DEM Misregistration on SRTM/NED Vegetation Height Estimates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The U.S National Elevation Dataset and the NLCD 2001 landcover data were used to test the correlation between SRTM elevation values and the height of evergreen forest vegetation in the Klamath Mountains of California.Vegetation height estimates (SRTM-NED) are valid only for the two out of eight (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) geographic directions, due to NED and SRTM grid data misregistration. Penetration depths of SRTM radar were found to linearly correlate to tree percent canopy density.

Comparison of Canopy Height Models Derived from Srtm/ned and Nextmap® Usa Elevation Data
Vegetation canopy height is one of the fundamental structural parameters for estimating forest biomass and evaluating forest carbon balance. Remote sensing technologies like interferometric synthetic aperture radar (abbreviated as IFSAR or IFSAR) may provide a means to extract vegetation canopy heights remotely. A comparison of canopy height estimates derived from IFSAR scattering phase center ...
متن کاملSRTM DEM Correction in Vegetated Mountain Areas through the Integration of Spaceborne LiDAR, Airborne LiDAR, and Optical Imagery
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM) is one of the most complete and frequently used global-scale DEM products in various applications. However, previous studies have shown that the SRTM DEM is systematically higher than the actual land surface in vegetated mountain areas. The objective of this study is to propose a procedure to calibrate the SRTM DEM over l...
