The book provides state-of the-art algorithms on how to extract forest parameters from LiDAR and explains how to use them in forest ecology. It gives an interdisciplinary view, from the perspective of remote sensing and forest ecology. Because LiDAR is still rapidly developing, researchers must use programming languages to understand and process LiDAR data instead of established software. In response, this book provides Python code examples and sample data. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSections give a brief history and introduce the principles of LiDAR, as well as three commonly seen LiDAR platforms. The book lays out step-by-step coverage of LiDAR data processing and forest structure parameter extraction, complete with Python examples. Given the increasing usefulness of LiDAR in forest ecology, this volume represents an important resource for researchers, students and forest managers to better understand LiDAR technology and its use in forest ecology across the world. The title contains over 15 years of research, as well as contributions from scientists across the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Qinghua Guo, Yanjun Su, Tianyu Hu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128238941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128238943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Qinghua Guo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076424659199,"sku":"9780128238943","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2224728-702b-4e6d-94c2-a30fc6c598cf.jpg?v=1685464914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lidar-principles-processing-and-applications-tianyu-hu-9780128238943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
