Prioritizing restoration efforts on Alaska’s Tongass National Forest from past extensive clearcut logging is extremely challenging given the difficulty in accurately mapping its remote, rugged temperate rainforest landscapes. We tested the application of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology to build a winter habitat model for Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis), the primary herbivore in the coastal temperate rainforest. We analyzed the importance of geomorphometric and forest structure characteristics as predictors of deer winter habitat selection using Random Forest applied to a 3-year GPS relocation dataset collected from 40 adult female deer. The LiDAR-based habitat model had a predictive performance of 94% (Out-of-bag error = 6%), a 10% lower model error compared to air-photo interpreted polygons and modeled plot data. Random Forest also outperformed analogous resource selection function models based on a comprehensive k-fold cross-validation. Deer habitat selection patterns in the LiDAR-based model were nonlinear across geomorphometric and forest structure predictive variables, and generally supported existing studies of deer habitat selection. Besides improving deer conservation and management on the Tongass National Forest, our approach could greatly enhance the accuracy and resolution of habitat maps used for conservation and restoration planning across large managed forest landscapes.

Multiple scans are often employed to capture and register data so that all of the stems can be detected and their complete forms can be analyzed. Researchers have traditionally preferred target-less strategies to register scans because of their low cost and convenience. However, in complex forest scenes, even state-of-the-art approaches cannot guarantee the success of any pairwise registration. In this study, we present an automated target-based processing approach for the registration of unordered scans in complex forest scenes. In contrast to previous studies, the proposed registration method automatically detects the artificial targets and builds a geometric network to judge their connectivity. A pose graph is then exploited to combine these data with the corresponding pairwise transformation, and then the scans are integrated into a unified coordinate system. This method is more robust and efficient than target-less approaches because it is independent of the characteristics of individual trees and does not require ground information. In an experimental scenario, we use an extremely complex wild bamboo forest scene to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach in terms of robustness, accuracy, and efficiency.

Shore zone classification from ICESat-2 data over Saint Lawrence Island / Huan Xie in Marine geodesy, vol 44 n° 5 (September 2021)

The ICESat-2 satellite provides height measurements of shore zone using a photon-counting LiDAR. The purpose of this study is to explore the application potential of ICESat-2 satellite data in shore zone classification. Saint Lawrence Island, Alaska, was chosen as the study area. Firstly, in this study, the upper and lower boundaries of the shore zone of the study area were extracted based on Google Earth images. The slope and width between the two boundaries were then calculated according to the formula. Secondly, six statistical indicators (standard deviation, relative standard deviation, average absolute deviation, relative average deviation, absolute median error and quartile deviation) related to the substrate and sediment classification that could reflect the characteristics of the shore zone profile were extracted, and the statistical indicators were used as input parameters of the softmax regression model for classification. Finally, the accuracy of the shore zone classification was validated using the ShoreZone classification system. The results show that, among the 246 shore zone sections in the study area, 86% (212) has been correctly classified. The results therefore indicate that ICESat-2 data can be used to support the characterization of shore zone morphology.

Measuring shallow-water bathymetric signal strength in lidar point attribute data using machine learning / Kim Lowell in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 35 n° 8 (August 2021)

Extreme gradient boosting (XGB) models relating PAD to an existing bathymetry/not bathymetry classification were fitted and evaluated for four areas near the Florida Keys. The PAD examined include ‘pulse specific’ information such as the return intensity and PAD describing flight path consistency. The R2 values for the XGB models were between 0.34 and 0.74. Global classification accuracies were above 80% although this reflected a sometimes extreme Bathy/NotBathy imbalance that inflated global accuracy. This imbalance was mitigated by employing a probability decision threshold (PDT) that equalizes the true positive (Bathy) and true negative (NotBathy) rates. It was concluded that 1) the strength of the bathymetric signal in the PAD should be sufficient to increase accuracy of density-based lidar point cloud bathymetry extraction methods and 2) ML can successfully model the relationship between the PAD and the Bathy/NotBathy classification. A method is also presented to examine the spatial and feature-space distribution of errors that will facilitate quality assurance and continuous improvement.

Leaf and wood separation for individual trees using the intensity and density data of terrestrial laser scanners / Kai Tan in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 59 n° 8 (August 2021)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 59 n° 8 (August 2021) . - pp 7038 - 7050 Titre : Leaf and wood separation for individual trees using the intensity and density data of terrestrial laser scanners Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kai Tan, Auteur ; Weiguo Zhang, Auteur ; Zhen Dong, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 7038 - 7050 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] analyse de groupement [Termes IGN] bois [Termes IGN] densité du feuillage [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] données TLS (télémétrie) [Termes IGN] feuille (végétation) [Termes IGN] réflectance spectrale [Termes IGN] semis de points Résumé : (auteur) Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is a highly effective and noninvasive technology for retrieving the structural and biophysical attributes of trees using 3-D high-accuracy and high-density point clouds. The separation of leaf and wood points in TLS data is a prerequisite for the accurate and reliable derivation of these attributes. In this study, a new method is proposed to separate the leaf and wood points of individual trees by combining the TLS radiometric (intensity) and geometric (density) data. The leaf points are separated from the wood ones through three steps. First, the corrected intensity data are used to separate a part of the leaf points preliminarily given the differences in reflectance characteristics. Second, the density data are adopted for the further separation of another part of the leaf points because the density of the remaining leaf points is smaller than that of the wood points. Finally, a connectivity clustering algorithm is conducted to form several clusters with different sizes (points) and the remaining leaf points are separated in accordance with the cluster sizes. Eight different trees are selected to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The averaged overall accuracy and kappa coefficient of the eight trees are approximately 95% and 0.81, respectively. The results suggest that the combination of TLS intensity and density data can perform a superior separation of leaf and wood points in terms of efficiency and accuracy, and the proposed separation method can be accurately and robustly used for various trees with different species, sizes, and structures.
