Application of airborne laser scanning in forests
Sedláčková, Oldřiška ; Potůčková, Markéta (advisor) ; Lysák, Jakub (referee)
Application of airborne laser scanning in forests Abstract The main aim of this work is to determine a laser pulse penetration through forest stands according from airborne laser data acquired at the beginning of a vegetation growth. Another goal is to evaluate different methods of mean tree height determination. In the first part the technology of airborne laser scanning (ALS) and its application in forest inventory is introduced. The use of ALS data for generating digital terrain models in forested areas is evaluated. A project of a new digital elevation model of the Czech Republic is introduced. Furthermore, methods of data processing are described and characterization of areas of interest in Dobruska and Sobotka is done. Comparison of a laser pulse penetration through different forest types and evaluation of a suitable method for mean tree height determination are main outputs of this work. Keywords: airborne laser scanning, digital terrain model, laser pulse penetration, mean tree height.

Sedláčková, Oldřiška ; Potůčková, Markéta (advisor) ; Klimánek, Martin (referee)
Modelling of selected forest geometric parameters from airborne laser scanning data Abstract The main aim of this work is to approximate the shape of a tree crown with mathematically describable 3D shape based on airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. And consequently derive geometrical parameters describing the tree from this model. Included in the work is a custom designed algorithm based on angular segmentation. Measured results of this algorithm are then compared to an algorithm based on RANSAC and field measurement. The first part of this work describes airborne laser scanning, its use to derive characteristics of forest stands and individual trees and the theory of tree crown modelling. The next part contains a description of both algorithms and presentation of results and field measurements. The conclusion summarizes and evaluates the outputs of the custom angular segmentation algorithm and discusses its possible modifications. Keywords: airborne laser scanning, tree height, crown width, crown height, crown cover, crown volume, crown shape, RANSAC
