AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The NEON datasets provide various remote sensing data, including Canopy Height Models (CHM), Digital Elevation Models (DEM), and surface reflectance data, collected using LiDAR and hyperspectral imaging.
-
The CHM represents canopy height above bare earth, derived from LiDAR point clouds to create a continuous surface of height estimates.
-
NEON offers both directional and bidirectional surface reflectance data, covering visible to shortwave infrared wavelengths with hyperspectral resolution.
-
High-resolution RGB camera imagery is also available, orthorectified and mosaicked with a spatial resolution of 0.1 meters.
-
The datasets are primarily focused on forest and vegetation monitoring, but also include topographic information and can be used for various environmental analyses.

NEON Canopy Height Model (CHM)
Height of the top of canopy above bare earth (Canopy Height Model; CHM). The CHM is derived from the NEON LiDAR point cloud and is generated by creating a continuous surface of canopy height estimates across the entire spatial domain of the LiDAR survey. The … airborne canopy forest forest-biomass lidar neon -
NEON Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
Digital models of the surface (DSM) and terrain (DTM) derived from NEON LiDAR data. DSM: Surface features (topographic information with vegetation and man-made structures present). DTM: Bare earth elevation (topographic information with vegetation and man-made structures removed). Images are given in meters above mean sea … airborne dem elevation-topography forest lidar neon -
NEON RGB Camera Imagery
High resolution Red-Green-Blue (RGB) orthorectified camera images mosaicked and output onto a fixed, uniform spatial grid using nearest-neighbor resampling; spatial resolution is 0.1 m. The digital camera is part of a suite of instruments on the NEON Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) that also includes a … airborne forest highres neon neon-prod-earthengine orthophoto -
NEON Surface Bidirectional Reflectance
The NEON AOP Surface Bidirectional Reflectance is a hyperspectral VSWIR (visible to shortwave infrared) data product, containing 426 bands spanning wavelengths from ~380 nm to 2510 nm. Reflectance is scaled by a factor of 10000. Wavelengths between 1340-1445 nm and 1790-1955 nm are set to … airborne forest hyperspectral neon neon-prod-earthengine publisher-dataset -
