Light detection and ranging (lidar) data acquired from airborne or spaceborne platforms
have revolutionized measurement and map** of forest attributes. Airborne data are often …

Automated individual tree crown detection and delineation (ITCD) using remotely sensed
data plays an increasingly significant role in efficiently, accurately, and completely …

Individual mangrove tree parameters are necessary for the efficient management and
protection of this unique ecosystem, but to measure them using remote sensing (RS) is still a …

Forestry inventory update is a critical component of sustainable forest management,
requiring both the spatially explicit identification of forest cover change and integration of …

Traditionally, forest measurement textbooks have been concerned primarily with
determination of the amounts of the principal commercial product of forests, wood. This was …

Tree species classification accuracy at the individual tree crown (ITC) level depends on
many factors, among which in this paper we analyzed: i) the remote sensing data used for …

Variations in vertical and horizontal forest structure are often difficult to quantify as field-
based methods are labour intensive and passive optical remote sensing techniques are …

Light detection and ranging (lidar) technology is capable of precisely measuring a variety of
vegetation metrics, the estimates of which are usually based on relative heights above a …

The overall goal of this study was to develop methods for assessing crown base height for
individual trees using airborne lidar data in forest settings typical for the southeastern United …

Due to increased fuel loading as a result of fire suppression, land managers in the American
west are in need of precise information about the fuels they manage, including canopy fuels …
