Short summary
A hyperspectral lidar produces point clouds with multiple spectral channels (colours) for each point. We measured a pine and used the spectral content to estimate chlorophyll content. We validated these results using chemical laboratory analysis of needles taken from the pine. Our prototype has limitations, but still shows the great potential of coloured point clouds. Potential applications include forestry, security, archaeology and city modelling.
