摘      要：The objective of this study was to estimate the carbon storage capacity of Pinus densiflora stands using remotely sensed data by combining digital aerial photography with light detection and ranging(LiDAR) data.A digital canopy model(DCM),generated from the LiDAR data,was combined with aerial photography for segmenting crowns of individual *** eliminate errors in over and under-segmentation,the combined image was smoothed using a Gaussian filtering *** processed image was then segmented into individual trees using a marker-controlled watershed segmentation *** measuring the crown area from the segmented individual trees,the individual tree diameter at breast height(DBH) was estimated using a regression function developed from the relationship observed between the field-measured DBH and crown *** above ground biomass of individual trees could be calculated by an image-derived DBH using a regression function developed by the Korea Forest Research *** carbon storage,based on individual trees,was estimated by simple multiplication using the carbon conversion index(0.5),as suggested in guidelines from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate *** mean carbon storage per individual tree was estimated and then compared with the field-measured *** study suggested that the biomass and carbon storage in a large forest area can be effectively estimated using aerial photographs and LiDAR data.
