Predicting Vegetation Stratum Occupancy from Airborne LiDAR Data with Deep Learning

We propose a new deep learning-based method for estimating the occupancy of vegetation strata from airborne 3D LiDAR point clouds. Our model predicts rasterized occupancy maps for three vegetation strata corresponding to lower, medium, and higher cover. Our weakly-supervised training scheme allows o...
