Hyperforest

Description: Das Projekt "Hyperforest" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Zürich, Geographisches Institut durchgeführt. In the framework of sustainable forest management, there is a need for reliable data on forests parameters such as tree species composition, stand diversity and forest vitality. These parameters need to be reported at regular intervals at national and international level. Currently, data acquisition is done by time-consuming and labour-intensive field campaigns and specific aspects such as canopy structure are even difficult to directly measure. Hyperspectral (HS) and LiDAR remote sensing (RS) techniques offer the potential to facilitate and improve information acquisition. However, this potential still has to be demonstrated in highly structured closed forests. The main objective of the HyperForest project is an improved data acquisition and processing for better estimation of forest parameters by fusion of HS and LiDAR data with focus on tree species composition, stand diversity and forest vitality. This requires: - a fundamental study on the impact of 3D canopy structure variability on the HS canopy signal; - data fusion between ground-based/airborne LiDAR and HS datasets; - improvement of the established HS pre-processing chain by incorporation of 3D structure information; - incorporation of acquired RS data and pre-processing techniques in the development of optimized HS feature extraction.
