A Geobia Approach to Estimate Large Area Forest Canopy Height Using Lidar Transects and Quickbird Imagery
Numerous applications of small footprint airborne lidar (light detection and ranging) have provided highly accurate results for estimating forest height. However, the associated acquisition cost remains high, which limits its use for wall-to-wall large area mapping. In this study, we developed a novel framework by integrating GEOBIA (GEOgraphic Object-Based Image Analysis), lidar transects and ...
متن کاملA Comparison of Object-based and Pixel-based Approaches to Estimate Lidar-measured Forest Canopy Height Using Quickbird Imagery
Canopy surface height (CSH) is a significant forest biophysical parameter to estimate above-ground biomass and carbon content. Highspatial resolution optical remotely sensed data have shown promising results to delineate various forest biophysical properties; though few studies have evaluated the accuracy of forest height information from such data. In this study, we compare several strategies ...
متن کاملA GEOBIA framework to estimate forest parameters from lidar transects, Quickbird imagery and machine learning: A case study in Quebec, Canada
The GEOgraphic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) paradigm continues to prove its efficacy in remote sensing image analysis by providing tools which emulate human perception and combine analyst’s experience with meaningful image-objects. However, challenges remain in the evolution of this new paradigm as sophisticated methods attempt to deliver on the goal of automated geo-intelligence (i.e.,...
متن کاملA Support Vector Regression Approach to Estimate Forest Biophysical Parameters at the Object Level Using Airborne Lidar Transects and QuickBird Data
A potential solution to reduce high acquisition costs for airborne lidar (light detection and ranging) data is to combine lidar transects and optical satellite imagery to characterize forest vertical structure. Although multiple regression is typically used for such modeling, it seldom fully captures the complex relationships between forest variables. In an effort to improve these relationships...
