These methods rely on the combination of inventory data and auxiliary information correlated with forest attributes of interest. As these methods have been predominantly tested over coniferous forests, the present study used this approach for heterogeneous and complex deciduous forests in the center of France. The auxiliary data considered included a forest type map, Landsat 8 spectral bands and derived vegetation indexes, and 3D variables derived from photogrammetric canopy height models. On a subset area, changes in canopy height estimated from two successive photogrammetric models were also used. A model-assisted inference framework, using a k nearest-neighbors approach, was used to predict 11 field inventory variables simultaneously. The results showed that among the auxiliary variables tested, 3D metrics improved the precision of dendrometric estimates more than other auxiliary variables. Relative efficiencies (RE) varying from 2.15 for volume to 1.04 for stand density were obtained using all auxiliary variables. Canopy height changes also increased RE from 3% to 26%. Our results confirmed the importance of 3D metrics as auxiliary variables and demonstrated the value of canopy change variables for increasing the precision of estimates of forest structural attributes such as density and quadratic mean diameter.

Various specialized algorithms have been developed to provide automatic and objective estimates of forest attributes from point clouds. The STEP (Snakes for Tuboid Extraction from Point cloud) algorithm was developed to estimate both stem diameter at breast height and stem diameters along the bole length. Here, we evaluate the accuracy of this algorithm and compare its performance with two other state-of-the-art algorithms that were designed for the same purpose (i.e., the CompuTree and SimpleTree algorithms). We tested each algorithm against point clouds that incorporated various degrees of noise and occlusion. We applied these algorithms to three contrasting test sites: (1) simulated scenes of coniferous stands in Newfoundland (Canada), (2) test sites of deciduous stands in Phalsbourg (France), and (3) coniferous plantations in Quebec, Canada. In most cases, the STEP algorithm predicted diameter at breast height with higher R2 and lower RMSE than the other two algorithms. The STEP algorithm also achieved greater accuracy when estimating stem diameter in occluded and noisy point clouds, with mean errors in the range of 1.1 cm to 2.28 cm. The CompuTree and SimpleTree algorithms respectively produced errors in the range of 2.62 cm to 6.1 cm and 1.03 cm to 3.34 cm, respectively. Unlike CompuTree or SimpleTree, the STEP algorithm was not able to estimate trunk diameter in the uppermost portions of the trees. Our results show that the STEP algorithm is more adapted to extract DBH and stem diameter automatically from occluded and noisy point clouds. Our study also highlights that SimpleTree and CompuTree require data filtering and results corrections. Conversely, none of these procedures were applied for the implementation of the STEP algorithm.

RegisTree: a registration algorithm to enhance forest inventory plot georeferencing / Maryem Fadili in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 76 n° 2 (June 2019)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > vol 76 n° 2 (June 2019) Titre : RegisTree: a registration algorithm to enhance forest inventory plot georeferencing Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Maryem Fadili , Auteur ; Jean-Pierre Renaud, Auteur ; Jérôme Bock, Auteur ; Cédric Vega , Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes descripteurs IGN] données lidar [Termes descripteurs IGN] données localisées 3D [Termes descripteurs IGN] hauteur des arbres [Termes descripteurs IGN] inventaire forestier national (données France) [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle numérique de surface de la canopée [Termes descripteurs IGN] placette d'échantillonnage [Termes descripteurs IGN] superposition de données Résumé : (auteur) Key message : The accuracy of remote sensing-based models of forest attributes could be improved by controlling the spatial registration of field and remote sensing data. We have demonstrated the potential of an algorithm matching plot-level field tree positions with lidar canopy height models and derived local maxima to achieve a precise registration automatically. Context : The accuracy of remote sensing-based estimates of forest parameters depends on the quality of the spatial registration of the training data. Aims : This study introduces an algorithm called RegisTree to correct field plot positions by matching a spatialized field tree height map with lidar canopy height models (CHMs). Methods : RegisTree is based on a point (field positions) to surface (CHM) adjustment approach modified to ensure that at least one field tree position corresponds to CHM local maxima. Results : RegisTree has been validated with respect to positioning errors and the performance of lidar-derived estimation of plot volume. Overall, RegisTree enabled to register field plots surveyed in a range of forest conditions with a precision of 1.5 m (± 1.23 m), but a higher performance for conifer plots, and a limited efficiency in homogeneous stands, having similar heights. Improved plot positions were found to have a limited impact on volume predictions under the range of tested conditions, with a gain up to 1.3%. Conclusion : RegisTree could be used to improve the forest plot position from field surveys collected with low-grade GPS and to contribute to the development of processing chains of 3D remote sensing-based models of forest parameters.

Surface reconstruction of incomplete datasets: A novel Poisson surface approach based on CSRBF / Jules Morel in Computers and graphics, vol 74 (August 2018)

To accomplish this task, our approach builds upon a known a priori model that coarsely describes the scanned object to guide the modeling of the shape based on heavily occluded point clouds. In the region of space visible to the scanner, we retrieve the surface by following the resolution of a Poisson problem: the surface is modeled as the zero level-set of an implicit function whose gradient is the closest to the vector field induced by the 3D sample normals. In the occluded region of space, we consider the a priori model as a sufficiently accurate descriptor of the shape. Both models, which are expressed in the same basis of compactly supported radial functions to ensure computation and memory efficiency, are then blended to obtain a closed model of the scanned object. Our method is finally tested on traditional testing datasets to assess its accuracy and on simulated terrestrial LiDAR scanning (TLS) point clouds of trees to assess its ability to handle complex shapes with occlusions.
