Canopy Height Estimation by Characterizing Waveform LiDAR Geometry Based on Shape-Distance Metric

There have been few approaches developed for the estimation of height using waveform LiDAR data. Unlike any existing methods, we illustrate how the new Moment Distance (MD) framework can characterize the canopy height based on the geometry and return power of the LiDAR waveform without having to go...
