La technologie lidar a atteint un stade où les modèles d'élévation du sol et du couvert
forestier peuvent être produits à des résolutions spatiales élevées. Les méthodes de …

Accurate estimates of leaf area index (LAI) could provide useful information to forest
managers, but due to difficulties in measurement, leaf area is rarely used in decision …

Nowadays, LiDAR is widely used for individual tree detection, usually providing higher
accuracy in coniferous stands than in deciduous ones, where the rounded-crown, the …

Plantation inventory and management require a range of fine-scale remote-sensing data.
Remote-sensing images with high spatial and spectral resolution are an efficient source of …

Small footprint full-waveform airborne lidar systems offer large opportunities for improved
forest characterization. To take advantage of full-waveform information, this paper presents a …

Tree biomass is an integrated measure of net growth and is critical for understanding,
monitoring, and modeling ecosystem functions. Despite the importance of accurately …

Changes in the structural state of forests of the semi-arid USA, such as an increase in tree
density, are widely believed to be leading to an ecological crisis, but accurate methods of …

Urban forests are vital in urban areas because they clean the air, absorb water, and protect
the environment from intense heat. Destruction of the urban forest by increased urbanization …

Given the interest in implementing land‐use change and forestry projects for mitigating
carbon dioxide emissions, there is potentially a large demand for a system to measure …

Le système GLAS («Geoscience Laser Altimeter System»), un capteur lidar («light detection
and ranging») satellitaire, a acquis plus de 250 millions d'observations lidar au-dessus des …
