FREE SHAPE CONTEXT DESCRIPTORS OPTIMIZED WITH GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR THE DETECTION OF DEAD TREE TRUNKS IN ALS POINT CLOUDS

In this paper, a new family of shape descriptors called Free Shape Contexts (FSC) is introduced to generalize the existing 3D Shape Contexts. The FSC introduces more degrees of freedom than its predecessor by allowing the level of complexity to vary between its parts. Also, each part of the FSC has...
