The leaf area density (LAD) distribution of trees with voxel size 1 m × 1 m × 0.5 m is estimated using high-resolution and multireturn airborne LiDAR data. The LAD of voxels having few incident laser beams is corrected from the surrounding voxels. The LAD of the periphery of the crown is discretized into 0.5 m × 0.5 m × 0.5 m voxels to accurately calculate the shaded area. The resulting LAD distribution is used in a radiative transfer simulation to calculate the solar transmittance of the trees. We verified the accuracy of the calculated transmittance by comparing it with empirical data for a Zelkova serrata. The comparisons were conducted under different angles of incidence of laser beams and solar radiation. When the angle between the incident laser beams and solar radiation was small, the transmittance could be accurately estimated. The LAD correction enabled the method to be applied to a broader range of the angle between beams and solar radiation. When the zenith angle of the incident laser beams was small ( Numéro de notice : A2016-903 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : IMAGERIE Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2016.2565699 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=83097 [article]
