Detecting Individual-Tree Crown Regions from Terrestrial Laser Scans with an Anchor-Free Deep Learning Model

Detecting individual-tree crowns provides a fundamental analysis unit bridging macro ecological patterns and micro physiological functions. This study adapted an anchor-free deep learning model, CenterNet, to detect individual crown locations and regions from dense 3 D terrestrial laser scans. A tot...
