Abstract:Tree height is one of the key parameters in forest plantations that plays a crucial role in estimation of above-ground biomass (AGB) of trees and stands. The parameter may be obtained by different methods from airborne remotely sensed datasets such shadow length of each tree individual or crown height models (CHMs). However, tree height estimation based on shadow length might be biased considering diverse topography of forest sites. Therefore, this study aims to develop a reliable method to estimate tree heigh… Show more
