3 November 2010High-resolution Crop Surface Models (CSM) and Crop Volume Models (CVM) on field level by terrestrial laser scanning
The interdisciplinary Transregional Collaborative Research Center 32 (CRC/TR 32) works on exchange processes
between soil, vegetation, and the adjacent atmospheric boundary layer (SVA). Within this research project a terrestrial
laser scanning sensor is used in a multitemporal approach for determining agricultural plant parameters. In contrast to
other studies with phase-change or optical probe sensors, time-of-flight measurements are used. On three dates in the
year 2008 a sugar beet field (4.3 ha) in Western Germany was surveyed by a terrestrial laser scanner (Riegl LMS-Z420i).
Point clouds are georeferenced, trimmed, and compared with official elevation data. The estimated plant parameters are
(i) surface model comparison between different crop surfaces and (ii) crop volumes as well as (iii) soil roughness
parameters for SVA-Modelling. The results show, that the estimation of these parameters is possible and the method
should be validated and extended.
