Occlusion mapping reveals the impact of flight and sensing parameters on vertical forest structure exploration with cost-effective UAV based laser scanning by Matthias Gassilloud, Barbara Koch, Anna Göritz

“…Using sensor position reconstruction and a ray tracing algorithm to quantify occlusion, we found that: (1) A larger sensor tilt angle up to 15° increased total occlusion, enhancing exploration in the upper canopy, while decreasing it below due to reduced canopy penetration. (2) Flying multiple azimuthal directions with a linear scanning mode reduced vertical occlusion by up to 15.0% due to improved coverage from diverse perspectives. (3) Lissajous scanning patterns resulted in 10.1% less vertical occlusion compared to linear patterns, underscoring the importance of additional viewing angles. …”
