3D Point clouds for forestry applications
نویسنده
چکیده
This article gives an overview of the state of the art 3D data acquisition systems (i. e. airborne laser scanning and digital aerial cameras) and the derivation of forestry related information from the derived 3D points clouds. The described examples are focusing on forest area delineation, growing stock and biomass estimation, forest growth assessment, forest road extraction as well as its changes. The shown examples are located in the Alpine space and discuss the possibilities and limitations of integrating these data sources into operational forestry applications.

متن کاملRecognising Structure in Laser Scanner Point Clouds
Both airborne and terrestrial laser scanners are used to capture large point clouds of the objects under study. Although for some applications, direct measurements in the point clouds may already suffice, most applications require an automatic processing of the point clouds to extract information on the shape of the recorded objects. This processing often involves the recognition of specific ge...
