Comparison of terrestrial LiDAR and digital hemispherical photography for estimating leaf angle distribution in European broadleaf beech forests [PDF]

open access: yesISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2019
Leaf inclination plays a crucial role in regulating the radiation, carbon and water fluxes in plant canopies. Accurate measurement of the probability density function of leaf inclination (i.e., the leaf angle distribution or leaf inclination distribution function (LIDF)), is very important for modelling photosynthesis as well as measuring leaf area ...

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 ...

Hemispherical photography to estimate biophysical variables of cotton [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2016
The Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a key parameter to evaluate the vegetation spectral response, estimating plant nutrition and water requirements. However, in large fields is difficult to obtain accurate data to LAI determination.

UAV Capability to Detect and Interpret Solar Radiation as a Potential Replacement Method to Hemispherical Photography

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Solar radiation is one of the most significant environmental factors that regulates the rate of photosynthesis, and consequently, growth. Light intensity in the forest can vary both spatially and temporally, so precise assessment of canopy and potential ...

Comparison of Smartphone and Drone Lidar Methods for Characterizing Spatial Variation in PAI in a Tropical Forest

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Estimating leaf area index (LAI) and assessing spatial variation in LAI across a landscape is crucial to many ecological studies. Several direct and indirect methods of LAI estimation have been developed and compared; however, many of these methods are ...

Reliability of canopy photography for forest ecology and biodiversity studies

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Understory is a key component of forest biodiversity. The structure of the forest stand and the horizontal composition of the canopy play a major role on the light regime of the understory, which in turn affects the abundance and the diversity of the ...

Estimating Savanna Clumping Index Using Hemispherical Photographs Integrated with High Resolution Remote Sensing Images

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
In contrast to herbaceous canopies and forests, savannas are grassland ecosystems with sparsely distributed individual trees, so the canopy is spatially heterogeneous and open, whereas the woody cover in savannas, e.g., tree cover, adversely affects ...

Methodology comparison for canopy structure parameters extraction from digital hemispherical photography in boreal forests

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2005
The retrieval of canopy architectural parameters using off-the-shelf digital cameras with fish-eye lens is investigated. The technique used takes advantage of the sensor’s linear response to light of these cameras to improve the estimation of gap fraction using:
