Forest Canopy Height Estimation Using Multiplatform Remote Sensing Dataset [PDF]
Journal of Sensors, 2018 Recently, numerous studies have attempted to determine forest height using remote sensing techniques that not only have the benefits of fast data acquisition, processing, and analysis but are also cost-effective. However, if there was insufficient data to apply the latest remote sensing techniques, we need to consider many kinds of datasets as possible.

Canopy height estimation with TanDEM-X in temperate and boreal forests
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2019 Abstract Various semi-empirical models for linking PolInSAR data (polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry) to canopy height of vegetation exist. However, only single-polarized data were used during the TanDEM-X mission in order to create a global digital elevation model (DEM).

Plant Species Richness is Associated with Canopy Height and Topography in a Neotropical Forest [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2012 Most plant species are non-randomly distributed across environmental gradients in light, water, and nutrients. In tropical forests, these gradients result from biophysical processes related to the structure of the canopy and terrain, but how does species richness in tropical forests vary over such gradients, and can remote sensing capture this ...

Capability of GLAS/ICESat Data to Estimate Forest Canopy Height and Volume in Mountainous Forests of Iran [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2015 The importance of measuring forest biophysical properties for ecosystem health monitoring and forest management encourages researchers to find precise, yet low-cost methods especially in mountainous and large areas. In the present study, geoscience laser altimeter system (GLAS) on board Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) was used to ...
