Improving the estimation of canopy cover from UAV-LiDAR data using a pit-free CHM-based method

Accurate and rapid estimation of canopy cover (CC) is crucial for many ecological and environmental models and for forest management. Unmanned aerial vehicle-light detecting and ranging (UAV-LiDAR) systems represent a promising tool for CC estimation due to their high mobility, low cost, and high po...
