Robust processing of airborne laser scans to plant area density profiles
<p>We present a new algorithm for the estimation of the plant area density (PAD) profiles and plant area index (PAI) for forested areas based on data from airborne lidar.</p> <p>The new element in the algorithm is to scale and average returned lidar intensities for each lidar p...
