Extraction of Forest Structural Parameters by the Comparison of Structure from Motion (SfM) and Backpack Laser Scanning (BLS) Point Clouds

Forest structural parameters are key indicators for forest growth assessment, and play a critical role in forest resources monitoring and ecosystem management. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can obtain three-dimensional (3D) forest structures with ultra-high precision without destruction, whereas...
