PILOT STUDY ON THE RETRIEVAL OF DBH AND DIAMETER DISTRIBUTION OF DECIDUOUS FOREST STANDS USING CAST SHADOWS IN UAV-BASED ORTHOMOSAICS

PILOT STUDY ON THE RETRIEVAL OF DBH AND DIAMETER DISTRIBUTION OF DECIDUOUS FOREST STANDS USING CAST SHADOWS IN UAV-BASED ORTHOMOSAICS

One fundamental metric to characterize trees and forest stands is the diameter at breast height (DBH). However, the vertical geometry of tree stems hampers a direct measurement by means of orthographic aerial imagery. Nevertheless, the DBH in deciduous forest stands could be measured from UAV-based...
