The Research and Application of 3D Laser Scanning Measurement Technology in Forestry

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to measure forest inventory, we propose an approach that enables automatic, fast and accurate tree trunks segmentation from three-dimensional (3-D) laser data. Results have been demonstrated in real-time on-board a round mobile robot. At the same time, we propose an approach to estimate tree diameter at breast height (dbh) that was tested off-line on a variety of ground laser scanner data, so it is very suitable for being popularized in forestry section.
