Quantification of occlusions influencing the tree stem curve retrieving from single-scan terrestrial laser scanning data

Abstract Background The stem curve of standing trees is an essential parameter for accurate estimation of stem volume. This study aims to directly quantify the occlusions within the single-scan terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data, evaluate its correlation with the accuracy of the retrieved stem cu...
