  • 3D Mapping by Photogrammetry and Lidar in Forest Studies
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 95 (2018) 224-234 EISSN 2392-2192 3D Mapping by Photogrammetry and LiDAR in Forest Studies Firoz Ahmad1,*, Md Meraj Uddin2, Laxmi Goparaju1 1Vindhyan Ecology and Natural History Foundation, Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, India 2Department of Mathematics, Ranchi University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Aerial imagery have long been used for forest Inventories due to the high correlation between tree height and forest biophysical properties to determine the vertical canopy structure which is an important variable in forest inventories. The development in photogrammetric softwares and large availability of aerial imagery has carved the path in 3D mapping and has accelerated significantly the use of photogrammetry in forest inventory. There is tremendous capacity of 3D mapping which has been recognized in research, development and management of forest ecosystem. The aim of this article is to provide insights of 3D mapping (photogrammetry including Lidar) in forest-related disciplines. We utilizing the satellite stereo pair and LiDAR point cloud as a case study for producing the anaglyph map and Canopy Height Model (CHM) respectively. The study also revealed the area verses canopy height graph. Present study has some strength because it was demonstrated the use of advance software module of ARC/GIS and Erdas Imagine for 3D mapping using Photogrammetry and LiDAR data sets which is highly useful in forest management, planning and decision making. Keywords: Stereo-Image, Photogrammetry, Lidar, Point cloud, Anaglyph, Canopy Height Model 1. INTRODUCTION The prime objective of forest mapping is to generate, manipulate and update various thematic datasets representing forestry attributes.

Keywords DIGITAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY Learning Outcome Student will get to know about digital photogrammetry. Student will acquire skill to work upon DEM, DTM and ortho photos. Student will be equipped with knowledge to study further digital photogrammetry needs, applications and advancement in remote sensing field. Introduction to Photogrammetry: Photogrammetry as a science is among the earliest techniques of remote sensing. The word photogrammetry is the combination of three distinct Greek words: ‘Photos’ - light; ‘Gramma’ -to draw; and ‘Metron’ –to measure. The root words originally signify "measuring graphically by means of light." The fundamental goal of photogrammetry is to rigorously establish the geometric relationship between an object and an image and derive information about the object from the image. For the laymen, photogrammetry is the technological ability of determining the measurement of any object by means of photography. Why Digital Photogrammetry? With the advent of computing and imaging technology, photogrammetry has evolved from analogue to analytical to digital (softcopy) photogrammetry. The main difference between digital photogrammetry and its predecessors (analogue and analytical) is that it deals with digital imagery directly rather than (analogue) photographs.

  • Accuracy Assessment of Photogrammetric Digital Elevation
    ACCURACY ASSESSMENT OF PHOTOGRAMMETRIC DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS GENERATED FOR THE SCHULTZ FIRE BURN AREA By Danna K. Muise A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Applied Geospatial Sciences Northern Arizona University August 2014 Approved: Erik Schiefer, Ph.D., Chair Ruihong Huang, Ph.D. Mark Manone, M.A. Abstract ACCURACY ASSESSMENT OF PHOTOGRAMMETRIC DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS GENERATED FOR THE SCHULTZ FIRE BURN AREA Danna K. Muise This paper evaluates the accuracy of two digital photogrammetric software programs (ERDAS Imagine LPS and PCI Geomatica OrthoEngine) with respect to high- resolution terrain modeling in a complex topographic setting affected by fire and flooding. The site investigated is the 2010 Schultz Fire burn area, situated on the eastern edge of the San Francisco Peaks approximately 10 km northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. Here, the fire coupled with monsoon rains typical of northern Arizona drastically altered the terrain of the steep mountainous slopes and residential areas below the burn area. To quantify these changes, high resolution (1 m and 3 m) digital elevation models (DEMs) were generated of the burn area using color stereoscopic aerial photographs taken at a scale of approximately 1:12000. Using a combination of pre-marked and post-marked ground control points (GCPs), I first used ERDAS Imagine LPS to generate a 3 m DEM covering 8365 ha of the affected area. This data was then compared to a reference DEM (USGS 10 m) to evaluate the accuracy of the resultant DEM. Findings were then divided into blunders (errors) and bias (slight differences) and further analyzed to determine if different factors (elevation, slope, aspect and burn severity) affected the accuracy of the DEM.
