In the last decades, remote sensing-based studies on AGB have been widely investigated alongside with a variety of sensors, features and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. Up-to-date and reliable mapping of such measures have been increasingly required by international commitments under the climate convention as well as by sustainable forest management practices. The proposed approach consists of 5 major steps: 1) generation of several Vegetation Indices (VI), biophysical parameters and texture measures; 2) feature selection with Mean Decrease in Impurity (MDI), Mean Decrease in Accuracy (MDA), L1 Regularization (LASSO), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA); 3) feature selection testing with k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), and Arti cial Neural Network (ANN); 4) hyper-parameters ne-tuning with Grid Search, Random Search and Bayesian Optimization; and nally, 5) model explanation with the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) package, which to this day has not been investigated in the context of AGB mapping. The following results were obtained: 1) MDI was chosen as the best performing feature selection method by the XGB and the Deep Neural Network (DNN), MDA was chosen by the RF and the kNN, while LASSO was chosen by the Shallow Neural Network (SNN) and the Linear Neural Network (LNN); 2) before hyper-parameters optimization, the Deep Neural Network (DNN) yielded the best performance with a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 42.30 t=ha; 3) after hyper-parameters ne-tuning with Bayesian Optimization, the XGB model yielded the best performance with a RMSE of 37.79 t=ha; 4) model explanation with SHAP allowed for a deeper understanding of the features impact on the model predictions. Finally, the predicted AGB throughout the study area showed an average value of 83 t=ha, ranging from 0 t=ha to 346.56 t=ha. The related CS was estimated by using a conversion factor of 0.47.Costa, Hugo Alexandre Gomes daEmin, DzhanerPla Bañón, FilibertoRUNMolisse, Giulia2021-03-15T18:15:10Z2021-02-262021-02-26T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/113902TID:202673227enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:56:43Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/113902Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:42:24.522181Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
