  • Impact of Classification Algorithms on Modeling Forest Ground from Point Clouds

    Creator:
    Heine, Carver
    Abstract:
    Projects in forestry and civil engineering depend on accurate information, which is often acquired through remote sensing techniques. One of the remote sensing technologies that has gained importance in the last decade is light detection and ranging (lidar), which describes the surveyed area with 3D points, presented as point clouds....

  • Assessment of the Impact of Forest Management Activities on Forest Aesthetics Using Photogrammetric Point Clouds

    Creator:
    Begay, Bryan E.
    Abstract:
    The public concern for clearcutting in the United States in the 1970s pushed for changes in the natural resources policies. A facet of forest management that came under scrutiny was forest aesthetics. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the impact of harvest designs on stand aesthetics using...
