Comparative Performances of Airborne LiDAR Height and Intensity Data for Leaf Area Index Estimation
Abstract
Leaf area index (LAI) estimation based on remote sensing data has often relied on the use of spectral vegetation indices from optical data. However, it is difficult to accurately estimate LAI due to saturation of spectral signals. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems have emerged as promising technologies for overcoming the saturation problem, and an increasing number of studies have been conducted on LAI estimation using LiDAR data. In …
