TY - T1 - Acquisition and evaluation of radiometrically comparable multi-footprint airborne LiDAR data for forest remote sensing SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/308416 T3 - A1 - Korpela, Ilkka A2 - PB - Y1 - 2017 LA - eng AB - Forest inventories comprise observations, models and sampling. Airborne LiDAR has established its role in providing observations of canopy geometry and topography. These data are input for estimation of important forest properties to support forestry-related decision-making. A major deficiency in forest remote sensing is tree species identification. This study examines the option of using multi-footprint airborne LiDAR data. Features of such sensor design exist in recently introduced multispectr...
