A method addressing signal occlusion by scene objects to quantify the 3D distribution of forest components from terrestrial lidar
Abstract
Estimating exact 3D distribution of canopy components using terrestrial lidar in forest is limited by signal occlusion. We propose a method to address this limitation: it uses voxels, beam returns and beam propagation through the scene. The proposed method was validated using simulated forest scenes and a lidar simulator.
