摘要
Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI); a full waveform lidar sensor, acquires samples of the terrain and vegetation structures. To derive a spatially continuous estimate, the canopy height and cover metrics retrieved from GEDI L2A and L2B, respectively, were extrapolated using support vector regression models and explanatory variables derived from multiple remotely sensed datasets. Explanatory variables extrapolated GEDI canopy height with RMSE = 3.83 m (R2 = 0.84) as the performance was validated using a subset of GEDI data. However, the accuracy decreased to RMSE = 7.98 m (R2 = 0.65) as validated with field-measured canopy heights. The accuracy of the prediction of forest canopy covers retrieved from GEDI L2B generally remains poor; RMSE = 0.14 (R2 = 0.53).
