the reduced power spectrum has a quadratic dependence on frequency.We nd the nearest spectral frequency to the peak position, and write the index i relative to this, so the nearest spectral frequency to the peak is labeled f0.

Apart from the forest inventories conducted in larger scales, the k-NN method has beenapplied in the context of so-called small-scale forest inventory, in which the accurate andunbiased inventory of small datasets is of major interest. The term ’small area ’ commonlydenotes a small geographical area[r]

N appear at lower frequency positions within the spectrum. This is called aliasing. Aliased compo-nents add to the components which are really at a lower frequency, and this can cause a very distorted impression of the true spectrum. For this reason, low-pass anti-alias-ing lters should be used to[r]
