This study attempted to assess the utility of ALS data for individual tree detection and species classification in a mixed forest with a high canopy density. For comparison, two types of tree tops and tree crowns in the study area were delineated by the individual tree crown (ITC) approach using the green band of the orthophoto imagery and the digital canopy height model (DCHM) derived from the ALS data, respectively. Then, the two types of tree crowns were classified into four classes\u2014Pinus densiflora (Pd), Chamaecyparis obtusa (Co), Larix kaempferi (Lk), and broadleaved trees (Bl)\u2014by a crown-based classification approach using different combinations of the three orthophoto bands with intensity and slope maps as follows: RGB (red, green and blue); RGB and intensity (RGBI); RGB and slope (RGBS); and RGB, intensity and slope (RGBIS). Finally, the tree tops were annotated with species attributes from the two best-classified tree crown maps, and the number of different tree species in each compartment was counted for comparison with the field data. The results of our study suggest that the combination of RGBIS yielded greater classification accuracy than the other combinations. In the tree crown classifications delineated by the green band and DCHM data, the improvements in the overall accuracy compared to the RGB ranged from 5.7% for the RGBS to 9.0% for the RGBIS and from 8.3% for the RGBS to 11.8% for the RGBIS. The laser intensity and slope derived from the ALS data may be valuable sources of information for tree species classification, and in terms of distinguishing species for the detection of individual trees, the findings of this study demonstrate the advantages of using DCHM instead of optical data to delineate tree crowns. In conclusion, the synthesis of individual tree delineation using DCHM data and species classification using the RGBIS combination is recommended for interpreting forest resources in the study area. However, the usefulness of this approach must be verified in future studies through its application to other forests.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs8030188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,26]],"date-time":"2016-02-26T10:23:39Z","timestamp":1456482219000},"page":"188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Interpretation of Forest Resources at the Individual Tree Level in Japanese Conifer Plantations Using Airborne LiDAR Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Songqiu","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Mountain Science, Shinshu University, Minamiminowa-Vill., Kamiina-Dtrct., Nagano 399-4598, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Katoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Mountain Science, Shinshu University, Minamiminowa-Vill., Kamiina-Dtrct., Nagano 399-4598, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1007\/s10310-008-0102-8","article-title":"Application of high-resolution airborne data using individual tree crown in Japanese conifer plantations","volume":"14","author":"Katoh","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
