Tree Canopy Mapping Using LIDAR Data
City of Phoenix - Office of Heat Response and Mitigation
Micro-Internship • January 2023
Project Purpose
To understand the return on investment of past and future tree planting across the city and identify areas where trees have been removed by computing tree canopy coverage at a high spatial resolution. By designing a processing flow that is reproducible with data sets from past and future years, the change in tree canopy coverage can be compared effectively.
Internship funded by the MIT PKG Center
