Individual Tree Crown Delineation from Airborne Laser Scanning for Diseased Larch Forest Stands

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) can be utilised to derive canopy height models (CHMs) for individual tree crown (ITC) delineation. In the case of forest areas subject to defoliation and dieback as a result of disease, increased irregularities across the canopy can add complications to the segmentation...
