Object-Oriented Automatic Identification of Forest Gaps Using Digital Orthophoto Maps and LiDAR Data

Identification of forest gaps is a prerequisite for quantification of their size, shape, and dynamics, and for clarification of both complex structural forest species regeneration and understory species diversity. Although airborne LiDAR and digital orthophoto maps (DOM) have been used separately to...
