Methods for tree cover extraction from high resolution orthophotos and airborne LiDAR scanning in Spanish dehesas

Abstract: Dehesas are high value agroecosystems that benefit from the effect tree cover has on pastures. Such effect occurs when tree cover is incomplete and homogeneous. Tree cover may be characterized from field data or through visual interpretation of remote sensing data, both time-consuming tasks. An alternative is the extraction of tree cover from aerial imagery using automated methods, on spectral derivate products (i.e. NDVI) or LiDAR point clouds. This study focuses on assessing and comparing methods for tree co… Show more

“…This was because the density of pulses was low, so it was difficult for a high number of pulses to penetrate the tree canopy and provide information on the vegetation below the canopy. In the area under study, the canopy usually has no gaps, and it is possible that in more open areas, such as a dehesa, the study of the stand characteristics with the PNOA LiDAR information would yield better results [31]. To confirm this assumption, the same statistical study was carried out using the stand characteristics while differentiating them by genus, and we obtained the results shown in Table 5 for pine stands.…”

“…Dentro de los sensores remotos empleados con estos fines podemos distinguir entre los sensores pasivos, que captan la radiación emitida o reflejada por fuentes naturales, y los activos, que generan ellos mismos la radiación y la captan en su retorno. La combinación de ambos tipos de sensores en trabajos forestales es hoy en día una realidad, habiéndose utilizado con éxito en multitud de ocasiones (Bork y Su, 2007;Cantero Fauquier et al, 2017;Borlaf-Mena et al, 2019). En este sentido, en España se dispone del Plan Nacional de Ortofotografía Aérea (PNOA), el cual cuenta tanto con productos procedentes de sensores pasivos, imágenes orto-rectificadas PNOA en formato IRC (infrarrojo color: infrarrojo cercano, rojo, verde) y RGB (rojo, verde, azul), como procedentes de sensores activos, nube de puntos lidar PNOA de baja densidad (MITMA, 2020), lo que posibilita la combinación de información espectral y estructural en el análisis de vegetación.…”

“…En el caso concreto de las masas de Quercus ilex L., en los últimos años se han desarrollado varios estudios enfocados a la obtención de la fracción de cabida cubierta (Castillejo-González et al, 2010;Borlaf-Mena et al, 2019) y la individualización de copas (Fragoso-Campón et al, 2020). Estos estudios, realizados sobre masas adehesadas y sin presencia de matorral, hacen hincapié en la limitación de los métodos propuestos en la individualización de los pies en los casos con tangencia de copas.…”
