[EN] Regression methods are widely employed in forestry to predict and map structure and canopy fuel variables. We present a study where several regression models (linear, non-linear, regression trees and ensemble) were ...
This paper assesses the combined effect of field plot size and LiDAR density on
the estimation of four forest structure attributes: volume, total biomass, basal area and
canopy cover. A total of 21 different plot sizes ...

[EN] In the last decades, the feasibility and efficiency of using TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanning) in forest inventories
have been studied. Data acquisition requires defining the scan locations to register the largest ...
The presence of shrub vegetation is very significant in Mediterranean ecosystems. However, the difficulty involved in shrub management and the lack of information about behavior of this vegetation means that these areas ...
This video describes the procedures to preprocess LiDAR data, to generate models for the estimation of forest structure variables (e.g., biomass) and to map them.
