Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has been widely used to estimate forest biomass. In this study, we aim to further explore this capability by correlating horizontal and vertical distribution of LiDAR data with components of biomass in a Picea crassifolia forest. Airborne small footprint full-waveform data were decomposed to acquire higher density point clouds. We calculated LiDAR metrics at ...

The discrimination of water–land waveforms is a critical step in the processing airborne topobathy LiDAR data. Waveform features, such as amplitudes infrared (IR) laser LiDAR, have been used identifying interfaces coastal waters through waveform clustering. However, using other IR full width at half maximum, area, width, and combinations different has not evaluated compared with methods. Furthe...

In arable landscapes, the airborne detection of archaeological features is often reliant on using the properties of the vegetation cover as a proxy for sub-surface features in the soil. Under the right conditions, the formation of vegetation marks allows archaeologists to identify and interpret archaeological features. Using airborne Laser Scanning, based on the principles of Light Detection an...
