LiDAR Voxel-Size Optimization for Canopy Gap Estimation

LiDAR Voxel-Size Optimization for Canopy Gap Estimation

Terrestrial laser scanning of forest structure is used increasingly in place of traditional technologies; however, deriving physical parameters from point clouds remains challenging because LiDAR returns do not have defined areas or volumes. While voxelization methods overcome this challenge, estima...
