基于小光斑激光雷达数据的稀疏林地冠层高程重建

探讨在稀疏林地的条件下,利用小光斑激光雷达获取的多次回波点云数据估算冠层高度,研究不同的高度重建方法包括反距离权重、样条插值以及普通克里格等方法的冠层和地面高度重建的精度。研究发现,在地面和林冠层,不同的重建方法的表现是不一样的,其中样条方法在冠层重建中的精度较高,误差绝对值的平均值为0.95m,并且整体偏差也较小,方差为3.42。而在地面高程重建则是普通克里格方法具有较小的误差,误差绝对值的平均值为0.35m,而样条方法的整体偏差要优于其他两种方法,方差为0.48。经过综合考虑,利用样条方法重建的冠层高程和普通克里格方法重建的地面高程实现了实验区冠层高度的提取。

Reconstruction of Sparse Forest Canopy Height Using Small Footprint LiDAR Data

This study estimates canopy height using multi-returns data acquired by the small footprint lidar of sparse forest and explores the precision of different methods such as IDW(Inverse distance weight),Spline method,OK(Ordinary Kriging) to reconstruct the canopy elevation and the ground elevation.It is found out that the performance of the different methods is different between the condition of the forest canopy and the ground.Thereinto the Spline method has the best precision on the reconstruction of forest canopy,the mean of absolute value error is 0.95m,and the variance is 3.42.But in the case of ground,the OK method's mean of absolute value error is the lowest,being 0.35m,but the variance of Spline method is the lowest,being 0.48.But integrating the precision of ground elevation with canopy elevation,and choosing the canopy elevation reconstructed by Spline and the ground elevation reconstructed by OK,it is possible to achieve the abstraction of the canopy height of the study area.
