Title:

Unbiased comparison of LiDAR point clouds acquired successively

Agreement Number:

CWFC2326-010

Agreement Value:

$57,000.00

Agreement Date:

Dec 22, 2023 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

Verify and document the limits to the application of the analytic solutions proposed to eliminate the bias that can be attributed to the acquisition angle and point density between two datasets and to integrate the analytic solutions of the LiDAR package for R to facilitate the unbiased comparison of point clouds acquired at different moments in the same forest area.

Organization:

Natural Resources Canada

Expected Results:

Project results will be documented and disseminated using a LidR package plug-in, a R library specialized in the analysis of open-sourced and free-platform LiDAR data. 2. A results dissemination workshop (March 2024)

Location:

QUEBEC, Quebec, CA G1V 0A6

Grants and Contributions in support of the Forest Innovation Program

Program Purpose:

The objective of the Forest Innovation Program (FIP) is to enable transformation in the Canadian forest industry. More specifically, the FIP will help drive forest sector transformation, sparking enterprises in their move beyond a dependence on commodity products toward value-added, high-value and specialty products – sustainably extracting the maximum value from the fibre resource. To achieve this, the FIP will facilitate and promote a value-chain approach that addresses innovation from the seed to the end markets and products in which the right fibre is matched to the right product.
