DF LAT
Desktop application for LiDAR data analysis
DF LAT (DeepForest LiDAR Analysis Tool) is software designed to generate data for forest analysis, including detailed topographic maps and canopy height data, from point cloud data obtained by drone-mounted LiDAR technology.
DF LAT takes LAS files from laser data and automatically detects ground and vegetation, creating high-resolution data at a 5cm resolution, including a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), Digital Surface Model (DSM), and Canopy Height Model (CHM). This allows for obtaining high-resolution topographic maps that capture forest trails and micro-terrain features and high-resolution canopy height models that can distinguish individual trees.
The data generated by DF LAT can be used in conjunction with the forest analysis software DF Scanner, enabling the detection of individual trees, tree species identification, and estimation of tree height and timber volume for each tree.
Ground detection
The software can also automatically detect the ground beneath the trees from the laser data obtained by the drone, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the forest, including the ground beneath the trees.
Manual filtering
You can draw lines on the screen to create cross-sectional views, which can be viewed in a separate window. This feature allows you to manually remove points from the point cloud data as needed.
By drawing a line at the location where you want to view a cross-section, a separate window will display the cross-sectional part. You can use the mouse scroll to view cross-sections of adjacent areas.
Creation of raster data
It is possible to create DSM, DTM, and CHM in geotiff format (.tif) from the original point cloud data and ground point cloud data. You can choose the output resolution as well as whether to perform point cloud interpolation during DTM creation. The default resolution is set to 5cm.
The DTM and other data created can be visualized as shaded relief maps in DF LAT, allowing you to check for any remaining noise or anomalies.
