Aerial imagery have long been used for forest Inventories due to the high correlation between tree height and forest biophysical properties to determine the vertical canopy structure which is an important variable in forest inventories.... more
Small footprint discrete return lidar data have already proved useful for providing information on forest areas. During the last decade, a new generation of airborne laser scanners, called full-waveform (FW) lidar systems, has emerged.... more
Spatial wavelet analysis has been shown to provide accurate measurements of tree crown diameters (from aerial photography and LiDAR data) and tree heights (from LiDAR data). However, to date the measurement of individual tree dimensions... more
The main goal of this research was to investigate the structural-spectral interactions that exist in managed, homogeneous, even-aged Eucalyptus plantations through plot-level volume and basal area modelling in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa.... more
The study presents a novel method for delineation of tree crowns and detection of stem positions of single trees from dense airborne LIDAR data. The core module of the method is a surface reconstruction that robustly interpolates the... more
