Resumo: One of the first areas investigated for commercial applications of LiDAR was for forest applications. Topography and forest coverage are of extreme importance for forest resources managers. Accurate information on trees height and density, besides being fundamental for planning, are hard to obtain by conventional methods. Laser scanning technology, as opposed to satellite images and aerial photographs, can concurrently map the ground and obtain estimates of trees height. The use of modeling associated with LiDAR data allows to obtain estimates of several other forest variables such as basal area, diameter, volume,  biomass and fuel material. Besides these applications, LiDAR technology presents a great potential for planning forest harvesting activities, road construction and maintenance. However, there are great challenges to be overcome in developing technologies and computational applications more robust and reliable for modeling data from this type of sensor.

Uma das primeiras áreas investigadas para o uso comercial do sistema de varredura a laser LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) foram as aplicações florestais. As informações da topografia e da cobertura florestal são extremamente importantes para os gestores de recursos florestais e naturais. Informações precisas sobre altura das árvores e densidade, além de serem fundamentais, são de difícil obtenção, com a utilização das técnicas convencionais. A tecnologia de varredura a laser, ao contrário das imagens de satélite e de fotografias aéreas, pode simultaneamente mapear o terreno embaixo das árvores, bem como obter a estimativa da altura destas. A utilização da modelagem integrada aos dados LiDAR possibilita, também, estimativas de diversas variáveis florestais, como: área basal, diâmetro, volume, biomassa, carbono e quantidade de material combustível. Apresenta, igualmente, grande potencial nas atividades de  planejamento da exploração florestal e construção de estradas. Entretanto, existem ainda muitos desafios a serem superados no desenvolvimento de metodologias e aplicações computacionais mais confiáveis e robustas  para a modelagem de dados provenientes deste sensor.Embrapa Florestas2010-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://pfb.cnpf.embrapa.br/pfb/index.php/pfb/article/view/14810.4336/2010.pfb.30.63.231Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira; v. 30 n. 63 (2010): jul./set.; 231Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira; Vol. 30 No. 63 (2010): jul./set.; 2311983-26051809-3647reponame:Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira (Online)instname:Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)instacron:EMBRAPAporhttps://pfb.cnpf.embrapa.br/pfb/index.php/pfb/article/view/148/133Copyright (c) 2010 Marcos Giongo, Henrique Soares Koehler, Sebastião do Amaral Machado, Flavio Felipe Kirchner, Marco Marchettihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGiongo, MarcosKoehler, Henrique SoaresMachado, Sebastião do AmaralKirchner, Flavio FelipeMarchetti, Marco2017-04-28T13:14:02Zoai:pfb.cnpf.embrapa.br/pfb:article/148Revistahttps://pfb.cnpf.embrapa.br/pfb/index.php/pfb/PUBhttps://pfb.cnpf.embrapa.br/pfb/index.php/pfb/oaipfb@embrapa.br || revista.pfb@gmail.com || patricia.mattos@embrapa.br1983-26051809-3647opendoar:2017-04-28T13:14:02Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira (Online) - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)false
