Algorithm for Extracting Digital Terrain Models under Forest Canopy from Airborne LiDAR Data

Extracting digital elevationmodels (DTMs) from LiDAR data under forest canopy is a challenging task. This is because the forest canopy tends to block a portion of the LiDAR pulses from reaching the ground, hence introducing gaps in the data. This paper presents an algorithm for DTM extraction from L...
