Due to its measurement principle, light detection and ranging (lidar) is particularly suited to estimate the horizontal as well as vertical distribution of forest structure. Quantification and characterization of forest structure is important for the understanding of the forest ecosystem functioning and, moreover, will help to assess carbon sequestration within forests. The relationship between the signal recorded by a lidar system and the canopy structure of a forest can be accurately characterized by physically based radiative transfer models (RTMs). A three-dimensional RTM is capable of representing the complex forest canopy structure as well as the involved physical processes of the lidar pulse interactions with the vegetation. Consequently, the inversion of such an RTM presents a novel concept to retrieve biophysical forest parameters that exploits the full lidar signal and underlying physical processes. A synthetic dataset and data acquired in the Swiss National Park (SNP) successfully demonstrated the feasibility and the potential of RTM inversion to retrieve forest structure from large-footprint lidar waveform data. The SNP lidar data consist of waveforms generated from the aggregation of small-footprint lidar returns. Derived forest biophysical parameters, such as fractional cover, leaf area index, maximum tree height, and the vertical crown extension, were able to describe the horizontal and vertical forest canopy structure. 相似文献

林木空间格局对大光斑激光雷达波形的影响模拟 总被引：5，自引：1，他引：5
激光雷达是近年来国际上发展十分迅速的主动遥感技术，在森林参数的定量测量和反演上取得了成功应用。激光雷达具有与被动光学遥感不同的成像机理，对植被空间结构和地形的探测能力很强。大光斑激光雷达系统一般指光斑直径在8—70m、连续记录激光回波波形的激光雷达系统。由于大光斑连续回波的激光雷达的光斑尺寸通常大于林木冠幅，波形中往往包含了森林冠层和许多森林元素的信息而不仅仅是单株树的信息。对于搭载在ICESAT卫星上的GLAS而言，光斑直径为70m，因此光斑对应着一片森林，包括很多棵树，在GLAS的激光光斑内树木的空间分布会有一定变化。同时激光雷达发射的脉冲信号在激光光斑内的分布也不均匀，而是从中心到边缘呈递减的分布。因此树木空间分布模式的变化对波形会产生一定的影响。通过对几种典型的树木空间格局进行模拟（包括规则分布、均匀（随机）分布和集群分布），假定激光光斑内能量呈高斯分布，模拟了各种树木分布模式林分的激光雷达信号。从模拟结果可见，森林的空间分布模式对大光斑激光雷达波形有明显的影响，对于波形面积（AWAV）和波形半能量高度（HOME），规则分布〉随机分布〉团状分布。其中对于HOME而言，规则分布和随机分布十分接近，而对于AWAV而言，聚集中心的变动不太敏感。 相似文献

利用激光雷达和多角度频谱成像仪数据估测森林垂直参数 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
植被的结构参数如植被高度、生物量、水平和垂直分布等，是影响陆地与大气能量交换乃至生物圈多样性的重要因素。多数遥感系统虽然可以提供植被水平结构的图像，但是不能提供植被成分垂直分布的信息。大尺度激光雷达仪器如LVIS产生的激光雷达信号，已成功地用于估计树高和森林生物量，然而大多数激光雷达仪器不具备图像能力，只能提供一个区域内的采样数据。其他的遥感数据如多角度高光谱、多频率多时相辐射计或雷达数据，可根据GLAS（Geoscience Laser Altimeter System）采样的测量用来推断出连续的森林结构区域覆盖参数。
MISR（Multi-angle Imaging Spectrometer）对陆表多角度的成像能力，可以通过BRDF的各向异性提供植被的结构信息。结合激光雷达的垂直采样和MISR的图像，区域内乃至全球性的森林空间参数的成像是可能的。ICESat卫星上的GLAS数据、Terra卫星上的MISR数据为区域或全球性森林结构参数提供了可能。本文的研究目的是评估GLAS数据，分析类似于MISR的数据对森林结构参数的估计能力。本文中使用了LVIS、AirMISR和GLAS数据。通过对GLAS树高的测量与GLAS像元内来自LVIS的平均树高对比，发现它们是高度相关的。同时还探讨了多角度频谱成像仪数据预测树高信息的能力，这将在今后区域内森林结构参数映射加以研究。 相似文献

Accuracy assessment of lidar-derived digital elevation models 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Despite the relatively high cost of airborne lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs), such products are usually presented without a satisfactory associated estimate of accuracy. For the most part, DEM accuracy estimates are typically provided by comparing lidar heights against a finite sample of check point coordinates from an independent source of higher accuracy, supposing a normal distribution of the derived height differences or errors. This paper proposes a new methodology to assess the vertical accuracy of lidar DEMs using confidence intervals constructed from a finite sample of errors computed at check points. A non-parametric approach has been tested where no particular error distribution is assumed, making the proposed methodology especially applicable to non-normal error distributions of the type usually found in DEMs derived from lidar. The performance of the proposed model was experimentally validated using Monte Carlo simulation on 18 vertical error data-sets. Fifteen of these data-sets were computed from original lidar data provided by the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Working Group III/3, using their respective filtered reference data as ground truth. The three remaining data-sets were provided by the Natural Environment Research Council's Airborne Research and Survey Facility lidar system, together with check points acquired using high precision kinematic GPS. The results proved promising, the proposed models reproducing the statistical behaviour of vertical errors of lidar using a favourable number of check points, even in the cases of data-sets with non-normally distributed residuals. This research can therefore be considered as a potentially important step towards improving the quality control of lidar-derived DEMs. 相似文献

激光雷达通过发射激光能量和接收返回信号的方式,来获取高精度的森林空间结构和林下地形信息。全波形激光雷达通过记录返回信号的全部能量,得到亚米级植被垂直剖面;离散回波激光雷达记录的单个或多个回波,表示来自不同冠层的回波信号。星载激光雷达一般采用全波形或光子计数激光剖面系统,仅能获取卫星轨道下方的单波束或多波束数据,用于区域/全球范围的森林垂直结构及变化观测。机载激光雷达多采用离散回波或全波形激光扫描系统,能够获取飞行轨迹下方特定视场范围内的扫描数据,用于林分/区域范围的森林结构观测。地基激光雷达多采用离散回波激光扫描系统,获取以测站为中心的球形空间内扫描数据,用于单木/样地范围的森林结构观测。激光雷达单木因子估测方法可分为CHM单木法、NPC单木法和体元单木法3类。CHM单木法通过局部最大值识别树冠顶点,采用区域生长或图像分割算法识别树冠边界或树冠主方向,NPC单木法一般通过空间聚类或形态学算法识别单木,体元单木法在3维体元空间采用区域生长或空间聚类算法识别树冠。根据激光雷达冠层高度分布可以估测林分因子,冠层高度分布特征来自于离散点云或全波形。多时相激光雷达可用于森林生长量、生物量变化等监测,以及森林采伐、灾害等引起的结构变化监测。随着激光雷达技术的发展,它将在森林调查、生态环境建模等生产与科学研究领域中得到更为广泛的应用。 相似文献

传统光学遥感技术手段在森林覆盖区难以准确获取林下地形,原因在于其只能测量森林冠层顶部高程。微波信号能够穿透森林冠层并记录森林垂直结构信息,为解决林下地形测绘难题带来了契机,如何准确获取林下地形已成为微波遥感领域的研究热点。首先介绍了面向林下地形测绘的合成孔径雷达（synthetic aperture radar,SAR）干涉测高原理及数据获取手段。然后对利用SAR进行林下地形测绘的方法进行了分类,主要包括基于合成孔径雷达干涉测量（interferometric synthetic aperture radar,InSAR）、极化合成孔径雷达干涉测量（polarimetric InSAR,PolInSAR）及基于多基线InSAR/PolInSAR数据的层析SAR（tomographic SAR,TomoSAR）技术的林下地形测绘方法,并介绍了上述3种方法的应用进展。最后在此基础上,从数据获取、误差改正及散射模型构建3个角度分析了林下地形测绘所面临的问题。 相似文献

A survey of remote sensing-based aboveground biomass estimation methods in forest ecosystems 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
Dengsheng Lu Qi Chen Guangxing Wang Lijuan Liu Guiying Li Emilio Moran 《International Journal of Digital Earth》2016,9(1):63-105
Remote sensing-based methods of aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation in forest ecosystems have gained increased attention, and substantial research has been conducted in the past three decades. This paper provides a survey of current biomass estimation methods using remote sensing data and discusses four critical issues – collection of field-based biomass reference data, extraction and selection of suitable variables from remote sensing data, identification of proper algorithms to develop biomass estimation models, and uncertainty analysis to refine the estimation procedure. Additionally, we discuss the impacts of scales on biomass estimation performance and describe a general biomass estimation procedure. Although optical sensor and radar data have been primary sources for AGB estimation, data saturation is an important factor resulting in estimation uncertainty. LIght Detection and Ranging (lidar) can remove data saturation, but limited availability of lidar data prevents its extensive application. This literature survey has indicated the limitations of using single-sensor data for biomass estimation and the importance of integrating multi-sensor/scale remote sensing data to produce accurate estimates over large areas. More research is needed to extract a vertical vegetation structure (e.g. canopy height) from interferometry synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) or optical stereo images to incorporate it into horizontal structures (e.g. canopy cover) in biomass estimation modeling. 相似文献

Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) has a unique capability for estimating forest canopy height, which has a direct relationship with, and can provide better understanding of the aboveground forest carbon storage. The full waveform data of the large-footprint LiDAR Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) onboard the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), combined with field measurements of forest canopy height, were employed to achieve improved estimates of forest canopy height over sloping terrain in the Changbai mountains region, China. With analyzing ground-truth experiments, the study proposed an improved model over Lefsky's model to predict maximum canopy height using the logarithmic transformation of waveform extent and elevation change as independent variables. While Lefsky's model explained 8–89% of maximum canopy height variation in the study area, the improved model explained 56–92% of variation within the 0–30° terrain slope category. The results reveal that the improved model can reduce the mixed effects caused by both sloping terrain and rough land surface, and make a significant improvement for accurately estimating maximum canopy height over sloping terrain. 相似文献

激光雷达(Lidar)与光学遥感的有效结合对中国南方区域森林冠顶高度反演意义重大,而国产卫星将为中国森林生态研究提供新的数据源。本文联合利用大脚印激光雷达GLA和国产MERSI数据,在实现GLAS波形数据处理和不同地形条件下森林冠顶高度反演算法基础上,建立了区域尺度不同森林类型林分冠顶高度GLAS+MERSI联合反演关系模型,进行了江西地区森林冠顶高度反演。总体上,GLAS激光雷达森林冠顶高度估算精度较高;且在与MERSI 250 m数据的联合反演模型中,针叶林模型精度较好(R2=0.7325);阔叶林次之(R2=0.6095);混交林较差(R2=0.4068)。分析发现,考虑了光学遥感生物物理参数的GLAS+MERSI联合关系模型在区域森林冠顶高度估算中有较高精度,且在空间分布上与土地覆盖数据分布特征非常一致。 相似文献

森林高度是反映森林资源数量和质量的重要参数,极化干涉合成孔径雷达PolInSAR （Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry）技术在森林高度反演中极具潜力。由于森林散射特征受波长影响明显,由此引起的散射机理差异使得基于PolInSAR技术反演的森林高度结果具有很大的不确定性。为了定量化该不确定性的影响,本文以模拟森林场景为例,对PolInSAR技术森林高度反演中常用的4种方法——极化相位中心高度估测法、复相干相位中心差分法、复相干幅度反演法以及相干幅度、相位联合反演法,以及它们在常用的4个微波波段P、L、C和X中的森林高度估测结果进行了分析;明确了匀质森林场景中,算法、波段选择引起的森林高度估测结果的不确定性。研究结果表明：在森林场景基本一致的情况下,估测算法的选择直接影响森林高度估测结果,其中复相干幅度反演法在4个波段的估测结果中精度均最高,但各估测点的估测结果离散度及不确定度较大。波长对4类估测方法估测结果的影响差异明显：复相干幅度反演法的反演结果几乎不受波长的影响,而相干幅度、相位联合反演法受波长影响明显,在P和L波段反演结果中精度较高,在C和X波段反演结果中精度降低明显。此外,以传统的交叉极化（HV）相位代表冠层散射相位中心,水平同极化与垂直同极化的相位差（HH-VV）代表地表散射相位中心,采用复相干相位中心差分法进行森林高度估测会出现严重低估现象。估测结果不确定度具有波长和算法选择依赖性,在C和X波段采用复相干相位中心差分法估测结果不确定度最低,在P和L波段采用极化相位中心高度估测法估测结果不确定度最低,而复相干幅度反演法估测结果则在多个波段中的不确定度均最高。 相似文献

Optical remote sensing data have been extensively used to derive biophysical properties that relate forest type and composition.
However, stand density, stand height and stand volume cannot be estimated directly from optical remote sensing data owing
to poor sensitivity between these parameters and spectral reflectance. The ability of microwave energy to penetrate within
forest vegetation makes it possible to extract information on both the crown and trunk components from radar data. The type
of polarization employed determines the radar response to the various shapes and orientations of the scattering mechanisms
within the canopy or trunk. This study mainly presents experimental results obtained with airborne E-SAR using polarimetric
C and L bands over the tropical dry deciduous forest of Chandrapur Forest Division, Maharashtra. A detailed documentation
of the relationship between SAR C & L bands backscattering and forest stand variables has been provided in the present study
through linear correlation. Linear correlation of the single channel SAR derived estimates with the field measured means show
a good correlation between L HV backscattering coefficient with stand volume (r2 = 0.71) and L HH backscattering coefficient with stand density (r2 = 0.75). The results imply that SAR data has significant potential for stand menstruation in operational forestry. 相似文献

Quantitative estimates of forest vertical and spatial distribution using remote sensing technology play an important role in better understanding forest ecosystem function, forest carbon storage and the global carbon cycle. Although most remote sensing systems can provide horizontal distribution of canopies, information concerning the vertical distribution of canopies cannot be detected. Fortunately, laser radars have become available, such as GLAS (Geoscience laser altimeter system). Because laser radar can penetrate foliage, it is superior to other remote sensing technologies for detecting vertical forest structure and has higher accuracy. GLAS waveform data were used in this study to retrieve average tree height and biomass in a GLAS footprint area in Heilongjiang Province. However, GLAS data are not spatially continuous. To fill the gaps, MISR (multi- angle imaging spectrometer) spectral radiance was chosen to predict the regional continuous tree height by developing a multivariate linear regression model. We compared tree height estimated by the regression model and GLAS data. The results confirmed that estimates of tree height and biomass based on GLAS data are considerably more accurate than estimates based on traditional methods. The accuracy is approximately 90%. MISR can be used to estimate tree height in continuous areas with a robust regression model. The R2, precision and root mean square error of the regression model were 0.8, 83% and 1 m, respectively. This study provides an important reference for mapping forest vertical parameters. 相似文献

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) texture has been demonstrated to have the potential to improve forest biomass estimation using backscatter. However, forests are 3D objects with a vertical structure. The strong penetration of SAR signals means that each pixel contains the contributions of all the scatterers inside the forest canopy, especially for the P-band. Consequently, the traditional texture derived from SAR images is affected by forest vertical heterogeneity, although the influence on texture-based biomass estimation has not yet been explicitly explored. To separate and explore the influence of forest vertical heterogeneity, we introduced the SAR tomography technique into the traditional texture analysis, aiming to explore whether TomoSAR could improve the performance of texture-based aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation and whether texture plus tomographic backscatter could further improve the TomoSAR-based AGB estimation. Based on the P-band TomoSAR dataset from TropiSAR 2009 at two different sites, the results show that ground backscatter variance dominated the texture features of the original SAR image and reduced the biomass estimation accuracy. The texture from upper vegetation layers presented a stronger correlation with forest biomass. Texture successfully improved tomographic backscatter-based biomass estimation, and the texture from upper vegetation layers made AGB models much more transferable between different sites. In addition, the correlation between texture indices varied greatly among different tomographic heights. The texture from the 10 to 30 m layers was able to provide more independent information than the other layers and the original images, which helped to improve the backscatter-based AGB estimation. 相似文献
