Abstract

We investigate the possibilities to use a laser reflection method for vegetation monitoring at eye-safe sensing wavelengths. A mathematical simulation involving spectral libraries of the vegetation reflection coefficients shows that the laser method (at the eye-safe sensing wavelengths in the ultra-violet and the near infrared spectral bands) can be accepted as a basis for vegetation monitoring. Laser sensing at the wavelengths of 2 and 0.38 μm or of 2 and 0.355 μm allows us to detect vegetation under adverse conditions with a probability of correct detection close to one and a probability of false alarm ~ second decimal places.
