Retrieval of Forest Aboveground Biomass and Stem Volume with Airborne Scanning LiDAR

Retrieval of Forest Aboveground Biomass and Stem Volume with Airborne Scanning LiDAR

Airborne scanning LiDAR is a promising technique for efficient and accuratebiomass mapping due to its capacity for direct measurement of the three-dimensionalstructure of vegetation. A combination of individual tree detection (ITD) and an area-basedapproach (ABA) introduced in Vastaranta et al. [1]...
