Estimating Stem Diameter Distributions with Airborne Laser Scanning Metrics and Derived Canopy Surface Texture Metrics

Estimating Stem Diameter Distributions with Airborne Laser Scanning Metrics and Derived Canopy Surface Texture Metrics

This study aimed to determine the optimal approach for estimating stem diameter distributions (SDD) from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data using point cloud metrics (M<sub>als</sub>), a canopy height model (CHM) texture metrics (M<sub>tex</sub>), and a combination thereof (M...
