Delineating Individual Trees from Lidar Data: A Comparison of Vector- and Raster-based Segmentation Approaches

Light detection and ranging (lidar) data is increasingly being used for ecosystem monitoring across geographic scales. This work concentrates on delineating individual trees in topographically-complex, mixed conifer forest across the California’s Sierra Nevada. We delineated individual trees using v...
