The improvement of sensors, and therefore of LiDAR’s ability to penetrate dense vegetation, allows us now to produce digital elevation models (DEMs) that are precise enough to reveal topographic artefacts over large tropical rainforest tracts. We discuss here the requirements for producing such DEMs and detail how they can be used to detect particular landscape-scale pre-Columbian features known as ring-ditched sites in French Guiana.

Assurer une exploitation durable implique donc de trouver un equilibre entre prelevements et potentialites du milieu. Grâce a leurs efforts conjoints, gestionnaires forestiers et chercheurs ont pu etablir les bases d'une sylviculture adaptee a la Guyane, garantissant cet equilibre aussi bien que le maintien des fonctionnalites ecologiques de la foret.

Control tools need to be put in place in order to achieve these objectives. The use of remote sensing to detect canopy gaps in tropical rainforests is an attractive alternative to ground surveys, which are laborious to carry out and lack precision. In French Guiana, detection of logging-related gaps using very high spatial resolution optical satellite images produced by the SPOT 5 sensor is carried out by ONF (French National Forestry Agency). Gaps are detected using an automatic segmentation method. The principle of the automation is to model the forest's signature and calculate a divergence between that theoretical signature and the image histogram in order to detect gaps that constitute a deterioration of forest cover. This tool has been used to assess the quality of logging operations at different scales: forests, blocks, local (onehectare- pixels). ...
