Forest canopy closure estimation in mountainous southwest China using multi-source remote sensing data by Wenwu Zhou, Wenwu Zhou, Qingtai Shu, Cuifen Xia, Li Xu, Qin Xiang, Lianjin Fu, Zhengdao Yang, Shuwei Wang

“…Then, the multi-source remote sensing image Sentinel-1/2 and terrain factors were combined to perform regional-scale FCC remote sensing estimation based on the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. The research results showed that (1) among the 50 extracted ATLAS LiDAR feature indices, the best footprint-scale modeling factors are Landsat_perc, h_dif_canopy, asr, h_min_canopy, toc_roughness, and n_touc_photons after random forest (RF) feature variable optimization; (2) among the BO-RFR, BO-KNN, and BO-GBRT models developed at the footprint scale, the FCC results estimated by the BO-GBRT model were the best (R2 = 0.65, RMSE = 0.10, RS = 0.079, and P = 79.2%), which was used as the FCC estimation model for 74,808 footprints in the study area; (3) taking the FCC value of ATLAS footprint scale in forest land as the training sample data of the regional-scale GWR model, the model accuracy was R2 = 0.70, RMSE = 0.06, and P = 88.27%; and (4) the R² between the FCC estimates from regional-scale remote sensing and the measured values is 0.70, with a correlation coefficient of 0.784, indicating strong agreement. …”
