Predicting tree structure from tree height using terrestrial laser scanning and quantitative structure models

We apply quantitative structure modelling to produce detailed information on branch-level metrics in trees. Particularly we are interested in the branch size distribution, by which we mean the total volume of branch parts distributed over the diameter classes of the parts. We investigate...
