Quantifying the Accuracy of Digital Hemispherical Photography for Leaf Area Index Estimates on Broad-Leaved Tree Species [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2018
Digital hemispherical photography (DHP) has been widely used to estimate leaf area index (LAI) in forestry. Despite the advancement in the processing of hemispherical images with dedicated tools, several steps are still manual and thus easily affected by

HemiPy: A Python module for automated estimation of forest biophysical variables and uncertainties from digital hemispherical photographs

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Digital hemispherical photography (DHP) is widely used to derive forest biophysical variables including leaf, plant, and green area index (LAI, PAI and GAI), the fraction of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (FIPAR), and the fraction of ...

Continuous estimation of leaf area index and the woody-to-total area ratio of two deciduous shrub canopies using fisheye webcams in a semiarid loessial region of China

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Automatic and accurate measurements of the leaf area index (LAI) can provide information about key parameters of vegetation structure in an ecosystem. Little attention, however, has been paid to LAI dynamics for shrub canopies in both arid and semiarid ...

Deriving Leaf Area Index Reference Maps Using Temporally Continuous In Situ Data: A Comparison of Upscaling Approaches

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
To further progress the validation of global leaf area index (LAI) products, temporally continuous reference data are a key requirement, as periodic field campaigns fail to adequately characterize temporal dynamics.

Digital hemispherical photography for estimating forest canopy properties: current controversies and opportunities

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2012
Hemispherical photography has been used since the 1960s in forest ecology. Nevertheless, specific constraints related to film cameras have progressively prevented widespread adoption of this photographic method.
