Application of unmanned aerial system structure from motion point cloud detected tree heights and stem diameters to model missing stem diameters

Monitoring of tree spatial arrangement is increasingly essential for restoration of dry conifer forests. The presented method was developed for high-density point clouds, like those from unmanned aerial system imagery, to extract and model individual tree location, height, and diameter at breast hei...
