A comparison of UAV laser scanning, photogrammetry and airborne laser scanning for precision inventory of small-forest properties

, 2020
This study addresses the use of multiple sources of auxiliary data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and airborne laser scanning (ALS) data for inference on key biophysical parameters in small forest properties (5–300 ha). We compared the precision of

Estimation of Vegetation-Induced Flow Resistance for Hydraulic Computations Using Airborne Laser Scanning Data

Water, 2021
The effect of vegetation in hydraulic computations can be significant. This effect is important for flood computations. Today, the necessary terrain information for flood computations is obtained by airborne laser scanning techniques.

Assessing Biodiversity by Airborne Laser Scanning

2013
Estimating biodiversity in complex habitats, particularly in forests, is still a major challenge for ecologists and conservationists. In ground-breaking work, Robert MacArthur and his colleagues quantified relationships between bird and vertical vegetation diversity, and found that the diversity of vegetation structure strongly influenced bird species ...

Analysis of scanning systematic errors for airborne laser bathymetry

Applied Optics, 2023
For the Palmer mechanical scanning pattern of an airborne laser bathymetry system, the potential errors of the scanning system are analyzed, and the associated error model is derived. The model composes the description of laser rays, water surface fluctuations, and refraction, and introduces certain simplifications concerning the water surface and ...

Airborne laser scanning for riverbank erosion assessment

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2005
Worldwide, rivers and streams are negatively impacted by sedimentation. However, there are few broad scale techniques for quantifying the sources of sediment, i.e. upland vs. river bank erosion. This research was designed to evaluate the use of airborne LIDAR for characterizing sediment and phosphorus contributions from river bank erosion.

Forest mapping using airborne laser scanning data

Práce a štúdie, 2023
The use of airborne laser scanning technology is nowadays on the rise in Slovakia. The application of this technology in forestry is not lagging behind, and therefore it is important to examine and analyse the process of improvement and application of methods and their use in practice.

Valuation of Airborne Laser Scanning Based Forest Information

2013
When an inventory is planned for, the decision makers typically strive for maximizing accuracy of the information with a given budget, or even maximize accuracy without considering any budget at all. Recent developments in airborne laser scanning and other remote sensing techniques facilitate the use of data obtained from such sources as an integrated ...

Airborne laser scanning—an introduction and overview

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 1999
Abstract This tutorial paper gives an introduction and overview of various topics related to airborne laser scanning (ALS) as used to measure range to and reflectance of objects on the earth surface. After a short introduction, the basic principles of laser, the two main classes, i.e., pulse and continuous-wave lasers, and relations with respect to ...

Preharvest Measurement of Marked Stands Using Airborne Laser Scanning

Forest Science, 2007
Abstract The customer-oriented wood procurement chain from forest to raw material user starts with a knowledge of stands available for harvesting and information on these marked stands. Despite several studies, no adequate method has been developed for obtaining preharvest measurement information to meet existing requirements.
