Mapping plant area index of tropical forest by Lidar: calibrating ALS with TLS
Résumé
Highlights:
- We compare Plant Area Density (PAD) profiles derived
from Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and contemporaneous Aerial Laser Scanning (ALS) in dense tropical forest
- Poor sampling of the lower part of the canopy profile by ALS is mitigated by using a multiple resolution approach
- Anisotropy of transmittance revealed by TLS allows further improvement of PAD estimates.
