A model development and application guide for generating an enhanced forest inventory using airborne laser scanning data and an area-based approach / Joanne C. White ... [et al.].: Fo148-1/18E-PDF

"In 2013, the Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada, released a best practices guide for generating forest inventory attributes from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. In this subsequent guide, we offer practical and relevant recommendations specific to the modelling and mapping of key forestry attributes. Our intended audience is the forest inventory or geomatics professional (or student) who is seeking to better understand the mechanics of implementing an inventory that incorporates ALS data. The additional detail provided in this document is intended to be complementary to the more general overview provided in the best practices guide. In combination, these two documents offer comprehensive guidelines for generating a forest inventory using ALS data and an area-based approach”--Summary, p. vi.
