4.5 Environmental Assessment: Forest Road Surface and Ditches Network One of the main objectives of this study is to investigate some intensity road characteristics based on ZEB1 LiDAR data. These intensity characteristics are the area with construction problems and the extent of the ditches network. As road construction problems here we consider the peaks and the depressions on the road surface that affect the transportation. In order to evaluate the flatness of the road surface we can make use

The trees of the Amazon forest should not be cut down for any reason because this would create many problems for Rubber Tappers. In this research paper‚ the reasons to not cut down the trees will be explained. Some of those reasons are because for one the Rubber tappers make a living working in the forest‚ also the seeds of the trees where the rubber tappers get the sap from was stolen by a nefarious Englishman and made the rubber tappers that work in the Brazil industry collapse so the rubber tappers

4.2.4 Point Cloud Classification using the Multiscale Curvature Algorithm The Multiscale Curvature Classification (MCC) algorithm was developed especially for forest environments by Evans and Hudak in 2007. The two scientists created this algorithm that automatically and objectively classifies LiDAR data with only two classification parameters and minimized post-processing requirements. The MCC algorithm is used especially in forest conditions because it minimizes the commission errors and retains
