A Novel Algorithm Based on Geometric Characteristics for Tree Branch Skeleton Extraction from LiDAR Point Cloud

More accurate tree models, such as branch skeleton, are needed to acquire forest inventory data. Currently available algorithms for constructing a branch skeleton from a LiDAR point cloud have low accuracy with problems such as irrational connection near trunk bifurcation, excessive central deviatio...
