Zhou, Tan (2017-12-11)Full waveform (FW) and photon counting LiDAR (PCL) data have garnered greater attention due to increasing data availability, a wealth of information they contain and promising prospects for large scale vegetation mapping. ...
-
Yadav, Pappu Kumar (2022-07-25)In the past few years, computer vision (CV) has made significant progress due to successive improvements in computing hardware alongside machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms. The progressive improvements ...

Stukey, Jared D. (2011-02-22)The overall goal of this study was to develop a framework for using airborne lidar to derive inputs for the SPB infestation growth model TAMBEETLE. The specific objectives were (1) to estimate individual tree characteristics ...
-
Lin, Yi-Sz (2010-10-12)This study uses an empirical approach to develop algorithms to estimate population dislocation following a natural disaster. It starts with an empirical reexamination of the South Dade Population Impact Survey data, ...
-
Mutlu, Muge (2012-02-14)Crown fires, the fastest spreading of all forest fires, can occur in any forest type throughout the United States and the world. The occurrence of crown fires has become increasingly frequent and severe in recent years. ...
-
Locke, Shawn Lee (2009-06-02)Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) are a highly mobile, wide ranging, and secretive species located throughout the arid regions of Texas. As a result of declines in turkey abundance within the Edwards ...
-
Mutlu, Muge (2009-05-15)Fires have become intense and more frequent in the United States. Improving the accuracy of mapping fuel models is essential for fuel management decisions and explicit fire behavior prediction for real-time support of ...
-
Sheridan, Ryan D. (2012-07-16)The United States Forest Service (USFS) Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program provides a diverse selection of data used to assess the status of the nation’s forested areas using sample locations dispersed throughout ...
-
Srinivasan, Shruthi (2013-10-30)Accurate measures of forest structural parameters are essential to forest inventory and growth models, managing wildfires, and modeling of carbon cycle. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides accurate understory information ...
-
Stueve, Kirk M. (2010-10-12)Climatic changes have induced striking altitudinal and latitudinal vegetation shifts throughout history. These shifts will almost certainly recur in the future; threatening other flora and fauna, and influencing climate ...
-
Morris, Jennifer Nicole (2012-10-19)Extensive research on soot in snow and snow grain size has been carried out in the Polar Regions. However, North American prairie snowpacks lack observations of soot in snow on snow albedo which adds uncertainty to the ...
-
Griffin, Alicia Marie Rutledge (2009-05-15)The use of airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) as a direct method to evaluate forest canopy parameters is vital in addressing both forest management and ecological concerns. The overall goal of this study was to ...
-
Li, Zheng (2022-06-03)Wildfires have become more frequent and larger across the western United States over the last few decades. Fire is a significant component of many rangeland ecosystems, and burn severity, which indicates the level of ...
