Characterizing vegetation structure using waveform LiDAR
… influence light and vegetation interaction. Waveform airborne LiDAR data contains large amounts of vegetation structural information, and is the best tool available for providing detailed physical information for large areas of vegetation. In this thesis, we first provide a complete work flow …

Fusion of Full Waveform LiDAR and Passive Remote Sensing for Improved Land-Cover Classification
… spatial and spectral domains. On the other hand, LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) data has gained increasing interest for use in classification because it provides precise three-dimensional (3-D) data for large areas with precise 3-D location information, and therefore greatly expands the …

Remote detection of forest structure in the White Mountains of New Hampshire: An integration of waveform lidar and hyperspectral remote sensing data
<p>The capability of waveform lidar, used singly and through integration with high-resolution spectral data, to describe and predict various aspects of the structure of a northern temperate forest is explored. Waveform lidar imagery was acquired in 1999 and 2003 over Bartlett Experimental Forest in …

Evaluation and Application of a New Shape-sensitive Metric Useful for Characterizing Both Spectral Curves and Lidar Waveforms
… seeks to investigate hyperspectral and waveform LiDAR datasets through a new analytical framework called Moment Distance method that uses a metric derived from the shape of the curve (spectral or waveform). In the case of hyperspectral data, the shape of the reflectance curve should …

DTM Generation in Forested Areas from Full-Waveform Airborne LiDAR Data
… Digital Terrain Model (DTM) extraction from full-waveform LiDAR data. Specifically, the primary goal was to develop a novel method to improve DTM extraction by utilizing low amplitude pulses that are generated by terrain under vegetation, but undetectable using traditional Gaussian decomposition …

Using a ground-based lidar instrument (Echidna ®) to reconstruct three-dimensional forest structure for biophysical and ecological studies
… from multiple scans of the ground-based full-waveform lidar, Echidna® Validation Instrument (EVI), provide a new pathway to estimate biophysical parameters of forest structure, as well as a novel ecological application visualizing bat flight tracks through a reconstructed forest. I reconstruct …
