Abstract:
Leaf Area Index (LAI) is one of the most used parameters to characterize the phenological stage of riparian vegetation biomass. A smart method to assess LAI is embodied by the imagery of HD photos acquired by means of Fisheye lenses, based on binarization methods capable to returns the value of gap fraction associated with each image. Assessing the role of gap fraction on LAI of riparian plants can furnish useful insights to hydraulic and environmental engineers when dealing with riparian vegetation management and design.
