A New Strategy for Individual Tree Detection and Segmentation from Leaf-on and Leaf-off UAV-LiDAR Point Clouds Based on Automatic Detection of Seed Points

Accurate and efficient estimation of forest volume or biomass is critical for carbon cycles, forest management, and the timber industry. Individual tree detection and segmentation (ITDS) is the first and key step to ensure the accurate extraction of detailed forest structure parameters from LiDAR (l...
