TL;DR: The Rainfall Atlas of Hawai'i as discussed by the authors is a set of digitalmaps of the spatial patterns of the 1978-2007 meanmonthly and annual rainfall for the major Hawaiian islands.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of detecting individual treetops from lidar data and applying marker-controlled watershed segmentation into isolating individual trees in savanna woodland is presented.

TL;DR: A survey of current biomass estimation methods using remote sensing data and discusses four critical issues – collection of field-based biomass reference data, extraction and selection of suitable variables fromRemote sensing data, identification of proper algorithms to develop biomass estimation models, and uncertainty analysis to refine the estimation procedure.

TL;DR: The experimental test results show that this method performs well for most sites, except those with missing data due to the lack of overlap between swaths, and shows encouraging results for laser data with low pulse density.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) was adopted to cope with multiple inputs and multicollinearity issues; the Variable of Importance in the Projection was calculated to evaluate importance of individual predictors for biomass.
