Fusion of crown and trunk detections from airborne UAS based laser scanning for small area forest inventories

High density point clouds from unmanned airborne laser scanning (UALS) systems have great potential for small area forest inventories. We propose an UALS-based tree level inventory method that takes advantage of both the segmented crowns and segmented trunks: hybrid tree detection (HTD). The method...
