A LiDAR signature library simulated from 3-dimensional Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) model to classify fuel types using spectral matching algorithms

Fuel types are one of the key variables that drive wildfire ignition and propagation. A new method is proposed to automatically classify and map fuel types from LiDAR data. The 3-dimensional Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) model generated a fuel type LiDAR signature library. These sim...
