Using LiDAR and normalized difference vegetation index to remotely determine LAI and percent canopy cover at varying scales

The use of airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) as a direct method to evaluate forest canopy parameters is vital in addressing both forest management and ecological concerns. The overall goal of this study was to develop the use of airborne LiDAR in evaluating canopy parameters such as perce...
