Transmittance of Airborne Laser Scanning Pulses for Boreal Forest Elevation Modeling

The transmittance of laser pulses through the forest canopy was studied as a function of forest attributes (inventory parameters) and the scanning angle from the point of view of elevation modeling. Here transmittance is defined as the ratio of the number of pulses within a threshold of the detected...
