Abstract
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are being used more often in agriculture to provide estimations of important metrics such as biomass because of the potential for improved temporal and spatial resolutions. More recently LiDAR sensor technology has advanced enabling more compact sizes that can be integrated with UAS platforms. Being an active sensor, LiDAR signals are capable of penetrating through the vegetation canopy providing more information on plant structure. Commonly, LiDAR data is used to derive only height information. However, newer studies have shown the retrieval of additional information from the spatial distribution and intensity of LiDAR signals. This study takes a unique look at combining these types of informative products, that are particular to LiDAR, for making biomass estimation with winter wheat.
