1 LiDAR and its use for the enhanced forest inventory Richard Fournier Département de géomatique appliquée Workshop of the Canadian Institute of Forestry Corner Brook, Newfoundland, March
2 LiDAR - Principles Pulsed Laser : impulsion of 4 à 15 ns Usually near infrared for land applications (1064 nm) Green laser for marine applications (532 nm) Divergence: diameter of the laser beam at a given distance. Usually small, about 0.15 à 1 mrad. (divergence of 0.15 mrad gives a laser beam diameter of 15 cm at 1,000 m) Point density: average nbr of laser beam per m 2 Benoît St-Onge 2011

9 LiDAR: flight line Benoît St-Onge 2011
10 LiDAR - Principles Lidar beams are reflected by the foliage and canopy elements but can penetrate down to the ground From Juha Hyyppa
11 LiDAR Data points are spreaded according to the scanning speed and the aircraft displacement Benoît St-Onge 2011
12 LiDAR Surface model Digital elevation model (DEM) Canopy height model (CHM) Benoît St-Onge 2011

16 Maps of canopy gaps (a) (c) (b) (d) Benoît St-Onge
17 Identification & mesure of individual trees Benoît St-Onge 2011 m 30 m 17
18 Mesure & prediction of tree dimensions Top of the tree Lenght of the live crown Base of the crown Predicted DBH Lenght of stem before crown Ground Benoît St-Onge 2011
19 Terrestrial LiDAR Leica : ScanStation 2 Zoller & Fröhlich : Imager 5010 Riegl : VZ-400 Faro : Focus 3D
20 Terrestrial LiDAR Data acquisition configuration Most TLS acquire data for the whole hemisphere Z+F, Leica, Faro : full hemisphere Riegl has a dead zone above Optech : on a moving base
21 T-LiDAR Data acquisition (in a plot) Data acquisition can be made in two main ways: From the outside From the inside Hemispherical view
22 In the forest
23 Post-treatements Scan alignment is required to integrate multiple scans in a spatially coherent scene of point cloud in 3D. Targets are used. Filters can also be used to "clean" the point cloud.
24 Post-traitments Scans alignment to create only one coherent point cloud scene in 3D. Field targets allow this complex operation. Filters can also be applied to clean the dataset.

29 Limitations Occlusion: obstruction of the laser beam or shadowing effect Meteorological condition Effect of wind Scans alignment
30 ALS versus TLS Comparison of ALS & TLS data in forest TLS ALS Source: Hopkinsons et al Signal occlusion is the most important limitation to see canopy objects. ALS is relatively blind to the forest understory.
31 Point (sampling) density Spacing between every laser beam forming the point cloud ajusted for the desired level of detail. Example of a red maple at 15 m from the sensor:
32 T-LiDAR measurements The T-LiDAR provides detailled 3D measurements of tree attributes of a stand. It improves from current measurement or add new attributes compared with the current forest inventory. Potential measurements include : Diameter at breast height Stem taper (up to the live crown) Tree height Tree crown (dimensions, density) Branchiness Tree structure
33 Elevation/surface/canopy models Canopy height model (CHM) Canopy surface model Ground elevation model (DEM)
34 Tree position map
35 Voxel representation of point cloud Hypothesis : Volume interception is proportionnal to vegetation density Nbr of returns from the voxel VDI (Vegetation Density Index) = 100 Nbr of beams crossing the voxel Durrieu et al. 2008

45 What can we do operationnally now? With airborne LiDAR: Ground surface canopy height models Plan best road configuration on complex terrain Produce very high quality maps of o Canopy/tree height o Stand volume & biomass Use area covered by ALS to map large area e.g Newf. island Merge information gain from ALS & other satellite images
46 What can we do operationnally now? With terrestrial LiDAR: Measure manually structural attributes Produce a tree map Availability of data processing platforms: Autostem (Treemetrics) and Computree (National Forest Inventory France) Data acquisition protocol in a natural environment
47 What are we working on? With airborne LiDAR: Identification of individual trees with their structural attributes Description of stand openings, layering (e.g. understory) Expand information from a low density data acquisition Improve automated processing for large datasets Assess methods for tree/stand type identification Reduce costs for data acquisition and processing Link LiDAR metrics to stand attributes like wood fibre attributes
48 What are we working on? With terrestrial LiDAR: Improve automated data processing to reduce limitations : occlusion, wind, differential beam width, phantom signals, Estimate structural attributes of individual trees of a stand operationnally: o Stem taper, branchiness, o Crown structural attributes Link LiDAR metrics to stand attributes like wood fibre attributes Establish a stronger link TLS-ALS (validation & method s expansion) Produce virtual plots with TLS & ALS Inclusion into plot inventory within the operational constraints
