The vertical extent of waveforms collected by the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (onboard ICESat - Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite) increases as a function terrain slope footprint size (the area on ground that is illuminated laser). Over sloped terrain, returns from both canopy surfaces can occur at same elevation. As result, height waveform (waveform extent) insufficient to make estimates tree algorithms are needed capable retrieving information about itself. Early work this...
We describe the design, implementation and performance of a novel airborne system, which integrates commercial waveform LiDAR, CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera hyperspectral sensors into common platform system. CAF’s (The Chinese Academy Forestry) LiCHy (LiDAR, Hyperspectral) Airborne Observation System is unique system that permits simultaneous measurements vegetation vertical structure, horizontal pattern, foliar spectra from different view angles at very high spatial resolution (~1 m)...
Chang'e-5 explorer successfully acquired lunar regolith core samples from depths of greater than 1 m surface. This study analyzed the drilling process based on telemetry data, image information, and returned to optimize sampling device design enhance understanding regolith. In particular, a prediction method for projected path local terrain fitting dip angle was proposed flight events recorded during information before, during, after sampling. The results revealed that approximately 2.3°,...
ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2) was launched in 2018 with a photon-counting LiDAR (Light Detection Ranging) system, ATLAS (Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System). It is collecting massive earth elevation data all over the world, which has shown potential of large-scale forest monitoring. However, energy emitted by system low, received signals are easily affected noise. Accurate classification photons an important step for parameter retrieval. Given limitations...
Accurate estimation of forest terrain and canopy height is crucial for timely understanding growth. Gao Fen-7 (GF-7) Satellite China's first sub-meter-level three-dimensional (3D) mapping satellite civilian use, which was equipped with a two-line-array stereo camera laser altimeter system that can provide images full waveform LiDAR data simultaneously. Most the existing studies have concentrated on evaluating accuracy GF-7 topographic survey in bare land, but few in-depth studied its ability...
Identifying the spatiotemporal distributions and phenotypic characteristics of understory saplings is beneficial in exploring internal mechanisms plant regeneration providing technical assistances for continues cover forest management. However, it challenging to detect using 2-dimensional (2D) spectral information produced by conventional optical remotely sensed data. This study proposed an automatic method regenerated based on 3D structural from aerial laser scanning (ALS) By delineating...
The mussel byssus system, comprising the adhesive plaque, distal thread, and proximal plays a crucial role in survival of marine mussels amongst ocean waves.
Ultrahigh-field human spine RF transceiver coil arrays face daunting technical challenges in achieving large imaging coverage with sufficient B(1) penetration and sensitivity, attaining robust decoupling among elements. In this paper, for ultrahigh field were built studied. Transceiver loop-shaped microstrip transmission line designed, fabricated, tested 7-tesla (7T) MRI. With the proposed adjustable inductive technique, isolation between adjacent elements is easily addressed. Preliminary...
AbstractThe Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), a spaceborne light detection and ranging (lidar) sensor, has acquired over 250 million lidar observations forests globally, an unprecedented dataset of vegetation height information. To be useful, GLAS must calibrated to measurements used in forestry inventory ecology. Airborne discrete return (DRL) can characterize terrain surfaces detail, but its utility as calibration data for is limited by the lack direct relationship between canopy...
Airborne hyper-spectral imaging has been proven to be an efficient means provide new insights for the retrieval of biophysical variables. However, quantitative estimates unbiased information derived from airborne hyperspectral measurements primarily require a correction anisotropic scattering properties land surface depicted by bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). Hitherto, angular BRDF methods rarely combined viewing-illumination geometry and topographic achieve...
The detection of individual trees in a larch plantation could improve the management efficiency and production prediction.
