| Research Abstract |
In this study, we aimed to develop a method to estimate forest understory vegetation coverage using airborne LiDAR. Using the ALPP(Automated LiDAR-data Processing Procedure) system previously developed, we separated the LiDAR data into canopy and below canopy class and presented the now indexes based on these separated data. From the comparison between estimated and observed forest understory vegetation coverage, we suggested the possibility to estimate the forest understory vegetation coverage using artborne LiDAR.
