Tree biophysical properties such as leaf area distributions and wood volumes can be accurately estimated from TLS point clouds. In these applications, a prerequisite is to properly understand the information content of large scale point clouds (i.e., semantic labelling of point clouds), so that tree-scale attributes can be retrieved. Currently, this requirement is undergoing laborious and time consuming manual works. In this work, we jointly address the problems of semantic and instance segmentation of forest point clouds. Specifically, we propose an unsupervised pipeline based on a structure called superpoint graph, to simultaneously perform two tasks: single tree isolation and leaf-wood classification. The proposed method is free from restricted assumptions of forest types. Validation using simulated data resulted in a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 0.81 for single tree isolation, and an overall accuracy of 87.7% for leaf-wood classification. The single tree isolation led to a relative root mean square error (RMSE%) of 2.9% and 19.8% for tree height and crown diameter estimations, respectively. Comparisons with existing methods on other benchmark datasets showed state-of-the-art results of our method on both single tree isolation and leaf-wood classification tasks. We provide the entire framework as an open-source tool with an end-user interface. This study closes the gap for using TLS point clouds to quantify tree-scale properties in large areas, where automatic interpretation of the information content of TLS point clouds remains a crucial challenge.

Monitoring clearcutting and subsequent rapid recovery in Mediterranean coppice forests with Landsat time series / Gherardo Chirici in Annals of Forest Science, Vol 77 n° 2 (June 2020)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science > Vol 77 n° 2 (June 2020) Titre : Monitoring clearcutting and subsequent rapid recovery in Mediterranean coppice forests with Landsat time series Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gherardo Chirici, Auteur ; Francesca Giannetti, Auteur ; Erica Mazza, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] brûlis [Termes IGN] canopée [Termes IGN] coupe rase (sylviculture) [Termes IGN] dégradation du signal [Termes IGN] forêt méditerranéenne [Termes IGN] image Landsat [Termes IGN] Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [Termes IGN] reconstruction du signal [Termes IGN] régénération (sylviculture) [Termes IGN] série temporelle [Termes IGN] taillis [Termes IGN] télémètre laser aéroporté Résumé : (auteur) Key message: This work analyses the rate of recovery of the spectral signal from clearcut areas of coppice Mediterranean forests using Landsat Time Series (LTS). The analysis revealed a more rapid rate of spectral signal recovery than what was found in previous investigations in boreal and temperate forests. Context: The rate of post-disturbance vegetation recovery is an important component of forest dynamics. Aims: In this study, we analyze the recovery of the spectral signal from forest clearcut areas in Mediterranean conditions when the coppice system of forest management is applied. Methods: We used LTS surface reflectance data (1999–2015). We generated an annual reference database of clearcuts using visual interpretation and local forest inventory data, and then derived the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) spectral trajectories for these clearcuts. From these spectral trajectories, we calculated the Years to Recovery or Y2R, the number of years it takes for a pixel to return to within a specified threshold (i.e., 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%) of its pre-disturbance value. Spectral recovery rates were then corroborated using measures of canopy height derived from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. Results: The coppice system is associated with rapid recovery rates when compared to rates of recovery from seeds or seedlings in temperate and boreal forest conditions. We found that the Y2R derived from the spectral trajectories of post-clearcut NBR and NDVI provided similar characterizations of rapid recovery for the coppice system of forest management applied in our study area. The ALS measures of canopy height indicated that the Y2R metric accurately captured the rapid regeneration of coppice systems. Conclusion: The rapid rate of spectral recovery associated with the coppice system is 2–4 years, which contrasts with values reported in boreal and temperate forest environments, where spectral recovery was attained in approximately 10 years. NBR is an effective index for assessing rapid recovery in this forest system.

From a forest monitoring perspective, there are several technological and operational aspects to address concerning under-canopy flying unmanned airborne vehicles (UAV). To demonstrate this emerging technology, we investigated tree detection and stem curve estimation using laser scanning data obtained with an under-canopy flying UAV. To this end, we mounted a Kaarta Stencil-1 laser scanner with an integrated simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system on board an UAV that was manually piloted with the help of video goggles receiving a live video feed from the onboard camera of the UAV. Using the under-canopy flying UAV, we collected SLAM-corrected point cloud data in a boreal forest on two 32 m 32 m test sites that were characterized as sparse ( = 42 trees) and obstructed ( = 43 trees), respectively. Novel data processing algorithms were applied for the point clouds in order to detect the stems of individual trees and to extract their stem curves and diameters at breast height (DBH). The estimated tree attributes were compared against highly accurate field reference data that was acquired semi-manually with a multi-scan terrestrial laser scanner (TLS). The proposed method succeeded in detecting 93% of the stems in the sparse plot and 84% of the stems in the obstructed plot. In the sparse plot, the DBH and stem curve estimates had a root-mean-squared error (RMSE) of 0.60 cm (2.2%) and 1.2 cm (5.0%), respectively, whereas the corresponding values for the obstructed plot were 0.92 cm (3.1%) and 1.4 cm (5.2%). By combining the stem curves extracted from the under-canopy UAV laser scanning data with tree heights derived from above-canopy UAV laser scanning data, we computed stem volumes for the detected trees with a relative RMSE of 10.1% in both plots. Thus, the combination of under-canopy and above-canopy UAV laser scanning allowed us to extract the stem volumes with an accuracy comparable to the past best studies based on TLS in boreal forest conditions. Since the stems of several spruces located on the test sites suffered from severe occlusion and could not be detected with the stem-based method, we developed a separate work flow capable of detecting trees with occluded stems. The proposed work flow enabled us to detect 98% of trees in the sparse plot and 93% of the trees in the obstructed plot with a 100% correction level in both plots. A key benefit provided by the under-canopy UAV laser scanner is the short period of time required for data collection, currently demonstrated to be much faster than the time required for field measurements and TLS. The quality of the measurements acquired with the under-canopy flying UAV combined with the demonstrated efficiency indicates operational potential for supporting fast and accurate forest resource inventories.

Filtering of airborne LiDAR bathymetry based on bidirectional cloth simulation / Anxiu Yang in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 163 (May 2020)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 163 (May 2020) . - pp 49 - 61 Titre : Filtering of airborne LiDAR bathymetry based on bidirectional cloth simulation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Anxiu Yang, Auteur ; Fanlin Yang, Auteur ; Dianpeng Su, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 49 - 61 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] ajustement de paramètres [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] courbe de Gauss [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] filtrage de points [Termes IGN] itération [Termes IGN] lidar bathymétrique [Termes IGN] relief sous-marin [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] télémétrie laser aéroporté Résumé : (auteur) Current filtering methods of airborne LiDAR bathymetry (ALB) point clouds cannot identify negative anomalies or avoid over-filtering of the data. To overcome these problems, we propose a bidirectional cloth simulation filtering (BCSF) method and verify it using captured data. First, a transfer iterative trend surface is established to eliminate the negative anomalies and realize the continuous expression of the seafloor topography. The terrain complexities of the seafloor points are calculated using four extracted feature factors: slope, standard deviation of depth, Gaussian curvature, and roughness. We then calculate the sub-regional terrain complexity and the adaptive distance threshold and obtain user-defined parameters. Finally, sub-regional filtering is carried out, and a filtered surface is established to solve the over-filtering problem of convex and concave seafloor topographies based on the BCSF correction model. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the BCSF method was applied to ALB data captured around Yuanzhi Island in the South China Sea. The experimental results show that the BCSF method effectively filters out non-seafloor points and fully preserves the seafloor microtopography to realize the integrity of the seafloor topography. The proposed BCSF method outperforms the cloth simulation filtering method in terms of the elimination rate, which decreases from 38.78% to 2.52% and from 29.52% to 0.70% in the whole study area and local study area, respectively. Consequently, the BCSF method that combines forward filtering with inverse filtering exhibits complementary advantages, avoids over-filtering, and demonstrates strong adaptability and robustness for ALB data.

Random and systematic errors can still occur and these affect the native point cloud, ultimately degrading ALS data accuracy, especially when adopting datasets that were not natively designed for forest applications. A detailed understanding of how uncertainty of ALS data could affect the accuracy of derivable forest metrics (e.g. tree height, stem diameter, basal area) is required, looking for eventual error biases that can be possibly modelled to improve final accuracy. In this work a low-density ALS dataset, originally acquired by the State of Minnesota (USA) for non-forestry related purposes (i.e. topographic mapping), was processed attempting to characterize forest inventory parameters for the Cutfoot Sioux Experimental Forest (north-central Minnesota, USA). Since accuracy of estimates strictly depends on the applied species-specific dendrometric models a first required step was to map tree species over the forest. A rough classification, aiming at separating conifers from broadleaf, was achieved by processing a Landsat 8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) scene. ALS-derived forest metrics initially greatly overestimated those measured at the ground in 230 plots. Conversely, ALS-derived tree density was greatly underestimated. To reduce ALS uncertainty, trees belonging to the dominated plane were removed from the ground dataset, assuming that they could not properly be detected by low-density ALS measures. Consequently, MAE (Mean Absolute Error) values significantly decreased to 4.0 m for tree height and to 0.19 cm for diameter estimates. Remaining discrepancies were related to a bias affecting the native ALS point cloud, which was modelled and removed. Final MAE values were 1.32 m for tree height, 0.08 m for diameter, 8.5 m2 ha−1 for basal area, and 0.06 m for quadratic mean diameter. Specifically focusing on tree height and diameter estimates, the significance of differences between ground and ALS estimates was tested relative to the expected ‘best accuracy’. Results showed that after correction: 94.35% of tree height differences were lower than the corresponding reference value (2.86 m); 70% of tree diameter differences were lower than the corresponding reference value (4.5 cm for conifers and 6.8 cm for broadleaf). Finally, forest parameters were computed for the whole Cutfoot Sioux Experimental Forest. Main findings include: 1) all forest estimates based on a low-density ALS point cloud can be derived at plot level and not at a tree level; 2) tree height estimates obtained by low-density ALS point clouds at the plot level are highly reasonably accurate only after testing and modelling eventual error bias; 3) diameter, basal area, and quadratic mean diameter estimates have large uncertainties, suggesting the need for a higher point density and, probably, a better mapping of tree species (if possible) than achieved with a remote sensing-based approach.
