An Individual Tree Segmentation Method Based on Watershed Algorithm and Three-Dimensional Spatial Distribution Analysis From Airborne LiDAR Point Clouds

Accurate individual tree segmentation is an important basis for the subsequent calculation and analysis of forestry parameters. However, rasterized canopy height model based methods often suffer from 3-D information loss due to the interpolation operation. Therefore, this article proposes an individ...
