Efficiency of individual tree detection approaches based on light-weight and low-cost UAS imagery in Australian Savannas

The reliability of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) for delineating individual trees and estimating aboveground biomass (AGB) has been proven in a diverse range of ecosystems, but can be difficult and costly to commission. Point clouds …

Hierarchical integration of individual tree and area-based approaches for savanna biomass uncertainty estimation from airborne LiDAR

Understanding the role that the vast north Australian savannas play in the continental carbon cycle requires reliable quantification of their carbon stock at landscape and regional scales. LiDAR remote sensing has proven efficient and accurate for …
