Terrain and individual tree vertical structure-based approach for point clouds co-registration by UAV and Backpack LiDAR by Tingwei Zhang, Xin Shen, Lin Cao

“…Tree-level structural parameters estimation plays a key role in the researches and practice in sustainable forest management, carbon storage estimation, as well as ecological function evaluation. However, single Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) platform exhibits limitations when acquiring complete (i.e., including over-story and under-story) point cloud data for forest stands, e.g., UAV LiDAR systems tend to overlook details of the tree trunk or the lower ground, while Backpack LiDAR systems struggle to capture the treetop, etc. …”
