Abstract
The importance of each of the predictors for different data sets for tree species classification provided by the RF algorithm was investigated. The lists of top features were the same, independent of intensity normalization. For the classification based on both of the point clouds (leaf-on and leaf-off), three structural features (a proportion of first returns for both half-height and full-height variants and the canopy relief ratio of points) and two intensity features from first returns and half-height variant (the coefficient of variation and skewness) were rated as the most important. In the classification based on the point cloud with CIR features, two image features were among the most important (the NDVI and mean value of reflectance in the green band).
