Forest structure and stem volume assessment based on airborne laser scanning / Avaliação da estrutura florestal e do volume de madeira a partir de laser aerotransportado

This paper presents a methodology for the derivation of structural parameters and stem volume in forests based on Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) data. We describe three different measures of horizontal and vertical canopy structure: (1) tree crown segmentation, (2) compactness of vegetation patches,...
