Extract forest information from a LiDAR photo

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm starting to work with LiDAR technology for a study about forest structure and I'm having problems with the first steps for extrancting the information that I need.

 

I'm using FUSION software with a photo as example, and I have been able to get information about individual trees or a line of them, but I'd like to get more information. I mean, for example, a table with all the values of all the points (and their coordenates) located in that photo, and if it were possible, values for the intermediate and low canopy.

 

Is all that possible with the software that I'm using or should I use another one? If it's possible, how can I get the information that I need? (at least first steps) Do you know some tutorial focused on forest structure?

 

Thank you!

I don't know the "FUSION" software, but ENVI Lidar has, a automate process of extraction of vegetation, buildings and energetic lines, and SAGA GIS also can do this kinds of things... try ENVI its faster;D

This is correct, ENVI Lidar is best to manage levels between forest attributes, Fusion is too limited, but is good for very small sections...
