Application of Physically-Based Slope Correction for Maximum Forest Canopy Height Estimation Using Waveform Lidar across Different Footprint Sizes and Locations: Tests on LVIS and GLAS
Forest canopy height is an important biophysical variable for quantifying carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems. Active light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors with discrete-return or waveform lidar have produced reliable measures of forest canopy height. However, rigorous procedures are required for an accurate estimation, especially when using waveform lidar, since backscattered signal...
متن کاملInterest of a Full-Waveform Flown UV Lidar to Derive Forest Vertical Structures and Aboveground Carbon
Amongst all the methodologies readily available to estimate forest canopy and aboveground carbon (AGC), in-situ plot surveys and airborne laser scanning systems appear to be powerful assets. However, they are limited to relatively local scales. In this work, we have developed a full-waveform UV lidar, named ULICE (Ultraviolet LIdar for Canopy Experiment), as an airborne demonstrator for future ...
متن کاملTropical 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 کاملA Comparison of Forest Biophysical Parameters Assessed with Lidar Data on Three Platforms: Ground, Airborne, and Satellite
7 Lidar remote sensing from three platforms – ground, airborne, and spaceborne – has 8 the capability to acquire direct three-dimensional measurements of the forest canopy that 9 are useful for estimating a variety of forest inventory parameters, including tree height, 10 volume, and biomass, and also for deriving useful information for characterizing wildlife 11 habitat or forest fuels. 12 The...
متن کاملCalibration and Validation of a Detailed Architectural Canopy Model Reconstruction for the Simulation of Synthetic Hemispherical Images and Airborne LiDAR Data
Canopy density measures such as the Leaf Area Index (LAI) have become standardized mapping products derived from airborne and terrestrial Light Detection And Ranging (aLiDAR and tLiDAR, respectively) data. A specific application of LiDAR point clouds is their integration into radiative transfer models (RTM) of varying complexity. Using, e.g., ray tracing, this allows flexible simulations of sub...
