An Object-Oriented Approach to Forest Volume and Aboveground Biomass Modeling using Small-Footprint Lidar Data for Segmentation, Estimation, and Classification

This study assessed the utility of an object-oriented approach to deciduous and coniferous forest volume and above ground biomass estimation, based solely on small-footprint, multiple return lidar data. The study area is located in Appomattox Buckingham State Forest in the Piedmont physiographic pr...
