Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a well-established active technology for the direct
acquisition of 3D data. In recent years, the geometric information collected by LiDAR …

Obtaining low vegetation data is important in order to quantify the structural characteristics of
a forest. Dense three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning data can provide information on the …

Selective logging can cause significant impacts on the residual stands, affecting biodiversity
and leading to environmental changes. Proper monitoring and mapping of the impacts from …

The full-waveform hyperspectral light detection and ranging (FWHSL) data have been
widely used in surface topography, vegetation detection, and 3-D urban terrain modeling …

In sustainable forest resource management, establishing forest conservation areas is
important to maintain forest biodiversity. However, assessing the conservation value of …

Owing to the complex forest structure and large variation in crown size, individual tree
detection in subtropical mixed broadleaf forests in urban scenes is a great challenge …

Forest inventories are essential for sustainable forest management. In inventories at the tree
level, all the information is linked to individuals: species, diameter, height, or spatial …

Climate crisis and correlating prolonged, more intense periods of drought threaten tree
health in cities and forests. In consequence, arborists and foresters suffer from increasing …

Identifying the spatiotemporal distributions and phenotypic characteristics of understory
saplings is beneficial in exploring the internal mechanisms of plant regeneration and …

Mapping the aboveground biomass (AGB) of forests in a spatially continuous manner is
essential to comprehend the carbon sequestration capacity of forest ecosystems. Automatic …
