Tree Height Estimation of Forest Plantation in Mountainous Terrain from Bare-Earth Points Using a DoG-Coupled Radial Basis Function Neural Network

Tree heights are the principal variables for forest plantation inventory. The increasing availability of high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) point clouds derived from low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and modern photogrammetry offers an opportunity to generate a Canopy Height Model (CHM) in...
