Quantifying Understory and Overstory Vegetation Cover Using UAV-Based RGB Imagery in Forest Plantation

Quantifying Understory and Overstory Vegetation Cover Using UAV-Based RGB Imagery in Forest Plantation

Vegetation cover estimation for overstory and understory layers provides valuable information for modeling forest carbon and water cycles and refining forest ecosystem function assessment. Although previous studies demonstrated the capability of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) in the three-dimen...
