Ecologists compare accuracy of lidar technologies for monitoring forest vegetation

(Northern Arizona University) Andrew S á nchez Meador led a study recently published in Remote Sensing, " Adjudicating Perspectives on Forest Structure: How Do Airborne, Terrestrial, and Mobile Lidar-Derived Estimates Compare?. " The study compared vegetation attributes at multiple scales derived from piloted airborne (ALS), fixed-location terrestrial (TLS) and mobile lidar scanning (MLS) to see how these tools might be used to provide detailed information on forest structure and composition.
