The SALCA diaries

Vegetation structure is important for measuring forest growth and the carbon cycle. Developed by the University of Salford and Halo Photonics Ltd, the Salford Advanced Laser Canopy Analyser (SALCA) is a unique multi-spectral, full waveform laser scanner using two wavelengths allowing distinction between leaves and woody material. This blog follows our research funded by the UK NERC and involving University of Newcastle, University College London and UK Forest Research.

Neural Network calibration of SALCA

This new paper just published decribes our research to calibrate the SALCA data to apparent reflectance. This method is now being applied to the SALCA data routinely to support quantitative analysis of the dual-wavelength spectral information.
