Individual Tree Segmentation from LiDAR Point Clouds for Urban Forest Inventory

The objective of this study is to develop new algorithms for automated urban forest inventory at the individual tree level using LiDAR point cloud data. LiDAR data contain three-dimensional structure information that can be used to estimate tree height, base height, crown depth, and crown diameter....
