Forest classification and carbon stock estimation with integration of airborne LiDAR and satellite Gaofen-6 data in a subtropical region by Ruoqi Wang, Dengsheng Lu, Guiying Li, Yisa Li, Wenjing Liu

“…Another important factor influencing FCS estimation accuracy is the quality of forest classification. To address these limitations, this study developed a multi-scale decision-level fusion framework combined with a ResNet deep learning algorithm for fine forest classification, and proposed an HBA-based FCS estimation model by incorporating different stratification schemes –single-stratum (based on either forest type or canopy height distribution (CHD)) and double-strata (integrating both forest type and CHD) based on airborne LiDAR and satellite GaoFen-6 data in a subtropical region, the Baisha State-owned Forest Farm of Fujian Province, China. …”
