Estimation of canopy properties in deciduous forests with digital hemispherical and cover photography

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2013
Abstract Rapid, reliable and meaningful estimates of forest canopy are essential to the characterization of forest ecosystems. In this paper the accuracy of digital hemispherical (DHP) and cover (DCP) photography for the estimation of canopy properties in deciduous forests was evaluated.

Assessment of automatic gap fraction estimation of forests from digital hemispherical photography

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2005
Thresholding is a central part of the analysis of hemispherical images in terms of gap fraction and leaf area index (LAI), and the selection of optimal thresholds has remained a challenge over decades. The need for an objective, automatic, operatorindependent thresholding method has long been of interest to scientists using hemispherical photography ...

Symbolic regression-based allometric model development of a mangrove forest LAI using structural variables and digital hemispherical photography

Applied Geography, 2022
The leaf area index (LAI) serves as a proxy to understand the dynamics of plant productivity, energy balance, and gas exchange. Cost-effective and accurate estimation of LAI is essential for under-assessed carbon-rich tropical forests, e.g., mangroves.

Comparison of film and digital hemispherical photography across a wide range of canopy densities

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2002
Hemispherical photography is a widely used method for assessing the light environment beneath forest canopies. As technology advances, digital photography is expected to increasingly replace conventional film photography for such work. However, in the absence of satisfactory comparisons between the two methods, caution is needed in the use of a digital

Automatic thresholding for digital hemispherical photography

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2004
This paper proposes an automatic thresholding method for the discrimination of sky and canopy elements in color hemispherical photographs taken with a digital camera (Nikon Coolpix 950). The exposures for photography were principally determined on the basis of zenith luminance. DIFphoto, which is diffuse transmittance calculated from the hemispherical

Evaluation of digital and film hemispherical photography and spherical densiometry for measuring forest light environments

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2000
This study presents the results of a comparison of digital and film hemispherical photography as means of characterizing forest light environments and canopy openness. We also compared hemispherical photography to spherical densiometry. Our results showed that differences in digital image quality due to the loss of resolution that occurred when images
