Research on Tree Distribution in the Mt. Hambeak Area of Taebaek City Using Hyperspectral Image-LiDAR in 2019-2020

Abstract

This research was conducted to improve the vegetation survey method using hyperspectral imaging and LiDAR techniques. Using Ocean FX, spectral data of seven representative species of Mount Hambaek were acquired, and hyperspectral image data of Mount Hambaek were acquired using AisaFENIX 1K and microCASI-1920 sensors. For spectral data and hyperspectral image data, tree species data were extracted using the Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) technique, and data such as tree species location, height, and diameter at breast height were extracted through LiDAR data. the results of an investigation A total of 39,351 trees were surveyed in the Mount Hambuk area, with 25,930 trees (65.9%) in <i>Quercus mongolica</i>, followed by <i>Larix kaempferi</i> with 6,805 trees (17.3%), <i>Alnus sibirica</i> with 3,625 trees (9.2%), <i>Pinus dendiflora</i> 1,764 trees (4.5%), <i>Pinus koraiensis</i> 605 trees (1.5%), <i>Pinus rigida</i> 405 trees (1.0%), and <i>Betulaermanii</i> 217 trees (0.5%), As a result of selecting 28 representative colonies to be surveyed and conducting on-site verification, 27 out of 28 colonies were found to be 96.43% accurate.
