Individual mangrove tree parameters are necessary for the efficient management and
protection of this unique ecosystem, but to measure them using remote sensing (RS) is still a …

Experiences from Nordic countries and Canada have shown that the retrieval of the stem
volume and mean tree height of a tree or at stand level from laser scanner data performs as …

Ideal for both undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of geography, forestry,
ecology, geographic information science, remote sensing, and photogrammetric …

Advances in computer vision and the parallel development of unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs) allow for the extensive use of UAV in forest inventory and in indirect measurements …

Canopy height models (CHMs) derived from lidar data have been applied to extract forest
inventory parameters. However, variations in modeled height cause data pits, which form a …

Topographic Laser Ranging and Scanning, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive
discussion of topographic LiDAR principles, systems, data acquisition, and data processing …

Light detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is becoming an increasingly used tool to support
decision-making processes within forest operations. Area-based methods that derive …

This paper presents a novel low-cost mini-UAV-based laser scanning system, which is also
capable of performing car-based mobile mapping. The quality of the system and its …

Airborne laser scanning data and corresponding field data were acquired from boreal
