Layer Stacking: A Novel Algorithm for Individual Forest Tree Segmentation from LiDAR Point Clouds

As light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology advances, it has become common for datasets to be acquired at a point density high enough to capture structural information from individual trees. To process these data, an automatic method of isolating individual trees from a LiDAR point cloud is re...
