LiDAR Principles, Processing and Applications in Forest Ecology (in Chinese) Light detection and ranging (LiDAR), as an emerging active remote sensing technology, provides a new three-dimensional (3D) view for ecology studies. It pushes ecology studies to transform from two-dimensional to 3D. This book introduces the principle of LiDAR technology and how to collect and process […]
Corrected SRTM DEM-1
SRTM (shuttle radar topography mission) DEM (digital elevation model) is a near-global terrain product with high accuracy, and has been widely used in many researches, such as hydrological survey, geological hazards assessment, and ecological protection. However, it has been proved that SRTM DEM is systematic higher than the real ground truth in vegetation regions, as […]
ModEco-1
ModEco is a software package for ecological niche modeling. It integrates a range of niche models within a geographical information system. ModEco provides a user friendly platform that enables users to explore, analyze, and model species distribution data with relative ease. It contains a suite of functions such as data input/output, data visualization, feature analysis, […]
Automatic multi-view lidar registration tool-1
Light detection and ranging (lidar) can be used to accurately estimate forest structure attributes using the rich three-dimensional (3D) information within the lidar point clouds， and has been proven to be highly useful for forest inventory practices. Currently, airborne, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne, mobile, and terrestrial lidar systems are the most commonly used lidar platforms […]
Benchmark dataset for airborne lidar scanning data filtering in forested environments-1
Data description: Airborne laser scanning (ALS) data is one of the most commonly used data for terrain products generation. Filtering ground points is a prerequisite step for ALS data processing. Because canopy cover and terrain slope are various in forested environments, filtering in forested environments is more challenging than filtering in other environments, such as […]
Global mangrove forest AGB map-1
Mangrove forest ecosystems are distributed at the land–sea interface in tropical and subtropical regions and play an important role in carbon cycles and biodiversity. Accurately mapping global mangrove aboveground biomass (AGB) will help us understand how mangrove ecosystems are affected by the impacts of climatic change and human activities. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) techniques […]
