THE FUSION OF INDIVIDUAL TREE DETECTION AND VISUAL INTERPRETATION IN ASSESSMENT OF FOREST VARIABLES FROM LASER POINT CLOUDS

In this study we searched the obtainable accuracy of forest inventory based on the individual tree detection (ITD) by using fusion of automatic ITD (ITD<sub>auto</sub>) and visual interpretation of laser point clouds. Current ITD algorithms, mostly based on segmentation of canopy height...
