Estimating plant area density of individual trees from discrete airborne laser scanning data using intensity information and path length distribution
Plant area density (PAD) of individual trees is an important structural indicator related to tree growth status, stress levels due to pests and diseases, photosynthesis potential, and evapotranspiration. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) provides unprecedented 3D information for mapping forest canopy pa...
