The individual tree information for such species is necessary for practical forest management and for conservation purposes. Digital aerial photogrammetry derived from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV-DAP) can provide fine spatial and spectral information, as well as information on the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a forest canopy. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data enable area-wide 3D tree mapping and provide accurate forest floor terrain information. In this study, we evaluated the potential use of UAV-DAP and LiDAR data for the estimation of individual tree location and diameter at breast height (DBH) values of large-size high-value timber species in northern Japanese mixed-wood forests. We performed multiresolution segmentation of UAV-DAP orthophotographs to derive individual tree crown. We used object-based image analysis and random forest algorithm to classify the forest canopy into five categories: three high-value timber species, other broadleaf species, and conifer species. The UAV-DAP technique produced overall accuracy values of 73% and 63% for classification of the forest canopy in two forest management sub-compartments. In addition, we estimated individual tree DBH Values of high-value timber species through field survey, LiDAR, and UAV-DAP data. The results indicated that UAV-DAP can predict individual tree DBH Values, with comparable accuracy to DBH prediction using field and LiDAR data. The results of this study are useful for forest managers when searching for high-value timber trees and estimating tree size in large mixed-wood forests and can be applied in single-tree management systems for high-value timber species.

An understanding of forest structure plays a particularly important role in the management of uneven-aged forests. The identification of vertical and horizontal variations in forest canopy structure using a ground-based survey is resource intensive, hence often demands for alternative data sources. In this study, one of the advanced remote sensing (RS) techniques, i.e. digital aerial photogrammetry was used to characterize forest canopy structure in a mixed conifer–broadleaf forest. We used aerial imagery acquired with a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform to produce RS metrics that could be used to classify and map forest structure types at landscape scale. Our results demonstrated that few structural and spectral metrics derived from UAV photogrammetric data, e.g. mean height, standard deviation of height, canopy cover, and percentage broadleaf vegetation cover, could characterize the forest structure across landscapes, particularly at the forest management compartment level, in a limited amount of time. We used cluster analysis for classification of forest structure types and identified five forest structure classes with varying levels of forest canopy structural complexity: (1) short, open-canopy, conifer-dominated structure; (2) short, dense-canopy, broadleaf-dominated structure; (3) tall, closed-canopy, broadleaf-dominated structure; (4) very tall, closed-canopy, conifer-dominated structure with a relatively high degree of variation in canopy height; and (5) very tall, closed-canopy, conifer-dominated structure with a relatively low degree of variation in canopy height. These classes showed relationships with forest management activities (e.g. selection harvesting) and natural disturbances (e.g. typhoon damage). Spatial distribution of forest canopy structural complexity that was revealed in this study is capable of providing important information for forest management planning and habitat modelling. Further, the simple, and flexible data-driven method used in this study to characterize forest structure has the potential to be applied with necessary changes over larger landscapes and different forest types for characterizing and mapping forest structural complexity.
