Improvement of Treetop Displacement Detection by UAV-LiDAR Point Cloud Normalization: A Novel Method and A Case Study

Normalized point clouds (NPCs) derived from unmanned aerial vehicle-light detection and ranging (UAV-LiDAR) data have been applied to extract relevant forest inventory information. However, detecting treetops from topographically normalized LiDAR points is challenging if the trees are located in ste...
