New Structural Complexity Metrics for Forests from Single Terrestrial Lidar Scans

New Structural Complexity Metrics for Forests from Single Terrestrial Lidar Scans

We developed new measures of structural complexity using single point terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds. These metrics are depth, openness, and isovist. Depth is a three-dimensional, radial measure of the visible distance in all directions from plot center. Openness is the percent of sca...
