Abstract
A nonuniform interpolation technique for use in a LIDAR profiler system is presented. The technique has been implemented to obtain the ground and canopy cover profiles from LIDAR profiling data containing ground and vegetation information, and it entails a two-stage process. In the first stage, the irregularly spaced data points are interpolated to regularise the data points. In the second stage, uniform interpolation is applied to the regularized data points to obtain the required profiles
