methodology
individual tree detection
Automated algorithms for identifying and delineating individual trees from LiDAR point cloud data
measurement
age-detrended growth
Growth measurements adjusted to remove the effect of age-dependent growth patterns, allowing isolation of environmental factors on growth
measurement
internode length
The distance between branch whorls on conifers, used to measure annual growth
methodology
structure from motion photogrammetry
Technique using overlapping images from different perspectives to construct 3D models of forest structure
measurement
LiDAR
Light detection and ranging technology using laser pulses to create detailed 3D maps of vegetation structure
