Application of imaging liDAR (IL) for vegetation monitoring is explained in this paper. Structural information
of vegetation is often difficult to be measured because it needs laborious tasks. IL can quickly
obtain precise 3-D point cloud images of vegetation, so that accurate structural information is obtained
efficiently. Rapid progress of automatic driving and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology is promoting
diversification of IL system and thus efficiency of IL data collection and quality of the IL vegetation
data have been improved. Besides the structural information, the biochemical and physiological information
of vegetation have been measured using IL systems with multiwavelength laser source or
image fusion technique between an IL based 3-D image and camera based 2-D images. Suitable features
within vegetation images to obtain vegetation characteristics has been able to be extracted using deep
leaning technique. This technique can be utilized to IL based 3-D image for extracting useful information
of vegetation
