Description
Uses full-waveform LiDAR returns processed through adaptive deconvolution and individual tree detection algorithms to map forest structure metrics including tree density, height distributions, and basal area at landscape scales. Validation performed through field inventory matching.
Typical Equipment
- Optech Gemini discrete LiDAR sensor
- waveform digitizer
- University of California Berkeley computing cluster
- R package minpack.lm
Output Measurements
- tree locations
- tree heights
- forest density
- basal area
- height percentiles
- quadratic mean diameter
