LIDAR-based geometric reconstruction of boreal type forest stands at single tree level for forest and wildland fire management

Vegetation structure is an important parameter in fire risk assessment and fire behavior modeling. We present a new approach deriving the structure of the upper canopy by segmenting single trees from small footprint LIDAR data and deducing their geometric properties. The accuracy of the LIDAR data i...
