Accounting for Wood, Foliage Properties, and Laser Effective Footprint in Estimations of Leaf Area Density from Multiview-LiDAR Data
The spatial distribution of Leaf Area Density (LAD) in a tree canopy has fundamental functions in ecosystems.It can be measured through a variety of methods, including voxel-based methods applied to LiDAR point clouds.A theoretical study recently compared the numerical errors of these methods and showed that the bias-corrected Maximum Likelihood Es
