Estimating Individual Tree Above-Ground Biomass of Chinese Fir Plantation: Exploring the Combination of Multi-Dimensional Features from UAV Oblique Photos

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed an approach to estimate IT-AGB by introducing the color space intensity information into a regression-based model that incorporates three-dimensional point cloud and two-dimensional spectrum feature variables, and the accuracy was evaluated using a leave-one-out cross-validation approach.

Aboveground Forest Biomass Estimation with Landsat and LiDAR Data and Uncertainty Analysis of the Estimates

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper provided a brief overview of current forest biomass estimation methods using both Landsat Thematic mapper (TM) image and LiDAR data, and demonstrated that Landsat TM data can provide adequate biomass estimates for secondary succession but are not suitable for mature forest biomass estimates due to data saturation problems.

Non-parametric prediction and mapping of standing timber volume and biomass in a temperate forest: application of multiple optical/LiDAR-derived predictors

TL;DR: In this article, a mixed temperate forest landscape in southwestern Germany, multiple remote sensing variables from aerial orthoimages, Thematic Mapper data and small footprint light detection and ranging (LiDAR) were used for plot-level nonparametric predictions of the total volume and biomass using three distance measures of Euclidean, Mahalanobis and Most Similar Neighbors as well as a regression tree-based classifier (Random Forest).
