Individual Tree Crown Delineation Using Multispectral LiDAR Data. [PDF]
In this study, multispectral Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data were utilized to improve delineation of individual tree crowns (ITC) as an important step in individual tree analysis. A framework to integrate spectral and height information for ITC delineation was proposed, and the multi-scale algorithm for treetop detection developed in one of ...

Individual Tree Crown Detection Using UAV Orthomosaic
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used in forestry as they are economical and flexible. This study aims to present the advantages of the drone photogrammetry method in collecting individual tree crowns, as individual tree crown detection could deliver essential ecological and economic information.

Variation in litter under individual tree crowns: Implications for scattered tree ecosystems [PDF]
AbstractIn forest ecosystems litter is usually assessed in terms of the average amount produced by the canopy. In scattered tree ecosystems this approach is problematic because the canopy is discontinuous and the spatial arrangement of litter highly variable.

NEON Crowns: a remote sensing derived dataset of 100 million individual tree crowns [PDF]
Abstract Forests provide essential biodiversity, ecosystem and economic services. Information on individual trees is important for understanding the state of forest ecosystems but obtaining individual-level data at broad scales is challenging due to the costs and logistics of data collection.

Individual Tree Crown Segmentation and Classification of 13 Tree Species Using Airborne Hyperspectral Data [PDF]
Knowledge of the distribution of tree species within a forest is key for multiple economic and ecological applications. This information is traditionally acquired through time-consuming and thereby expensive field work. Our study evaluates the suitability of a visible to near-infrared (VNIR) hyperspectral dataset with a spatial resolution of 0.4 m for ...

INDIVIDUAL TREE CROWN DELINEATION USING MULTI-WAVELENGTH TITAN LIDAR DATA [PDF]
The inability to detect the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) at an early stage has led to the enumerable loss of different species of ash trees. Due to the increasing risk being posed by the EAB, a robust and accurate method is needed for identifying Individual ...

From Peaks to Crowns: A Morphology-Based UAV-LiDAR Framework for Individual Tree Segmentation [PDF]
Recognising individual trees has important applications in forest ecology and management. Conventional individual tree segmentation methods tend to favour dominant trees with pronounced canopy surface features but have limited capability in detecting ...
