摘要
The quantitative description of forest canopy structure is significant for the investigation of a forest, which serves as an important component of the terrestrial ecosystem. Light detection and ranging (LIDAR), as a new technical means that can acquire high-precision vertical information, plays a crucial role in forest monitoring and management. Choosing Dayekou forest experimental area in the Heihe watershed as a study area, we separated the ground points from the vegetation points using the skewness-change algorithm based on the intensity information from airborne LIDAR data. After that, digital terrain model (DTM) and digital surface model (DSM) were generated, respectively, based on which the canopy height model (CHM) was acquired. Finally, using the variational window, the local maximum filter method was used to extract individual tree heights and crown widths from CHM. The determination coefficients of tree heights and crown widths were 0.8568 and 0.3923, respectively. The validation results indicated that the tree heights could be effectively extracted from intensity information of airborne LIDAR, while the accuracy of extracted crown widths needed to be improved. In the future work, aerial photos and other high-resolution images would be combined to improve the accuracy. (c) 2012 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
