DETECTION OF SINGLE TREE STEMS IN FORESTED AREAS FROM HIGH DENSITY ALS POINT CLOUDS USING 3D SHAPE DESCRIPTORS
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) is a widespread method for forest mapping and management purposes. While common ALS techniques provide valuable information about the forest canopy and intermediate layers, the point density near the ground may be poor due to dense overstory conditions. The current st...
