Estimating Canopy Height from LiDAR

This project was part of a lab assignment I completed while at UM. We pulled data from the NASA LVIS 1.02, preprocessed to remove outliers (+-2 SD), generated DSMs/DEMs, and estimated canopy height (DSM - DEM). Overall, I really enjoyed learning more about LiDAR and its applications in ecological research!
