Abstract | We proposed a method to separate ground points and vegetation points from discrete return, small footprint airborne laser scanner data, called skewness change algorithm. The method, which makes use of intensity of laser scanner data, is especially applicable in steep, and forested areas. It does not take slope of forested area into account, while other algorithms consider the change of slope in steep forested area. The ground points and vegetation points can be used to estimate digital terrain model (DTM) and fractional vegetation cover, respectively. A few vegetation points which were classified into the ground points were removed as noise before the generation of DTM. This method was tested in a test area of 10000 square meters. A LiteMapper-5600 laser system was used and a flight was carried out over a ground of 700-800 m. In this tested area, a total number of 1546 field measurement ground points were measured with a total station TOPCON GTS-602 and TOPCON GTS-7002 for validation of DTM and the mean error value is -18.5 cm and the RMSE (root mean square error) is ±20.9 cm. A data trap sizes of 4 m in diameter from airborne laser scanner data was selected to compute vegetation fraction cover. Validation of fractional vegetation cover was carried out using 15 hemispherical photographs, which are georeferenced to centimeter accuracy by differential GPS. The gap fraction was computed over a range of zenith angles 10° using the gap light analyzer (GLA) from each hemispherical photograph. The R 2 for the regression of fractional vegetation cover from these ALS data and the respective field measurements is 0.7554. So this study presents a method for synchronous estimation of DTM and fractional vegetation cover in forested area from airborne LIDAR height and intensity data. © 2008 Science in China Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH. |
