Interactive Trunk Extraction from Forest Point Cloud

Blog Article

For forest management or monitoring, it is required to constantly measure several parameters of each tree, such as height, diameter at breast height, and trunk volume.Terrestrial laser scanner has been used for this purpose instead of human workers to reduce time and cost for the measurement.In order to use galaxy harmony nc point cloud captured by terrestrial laser scanner in the above applications, it is an important step to extract all trees or their apunisw2 trunks separately.For this purpose, we propose an interactive system in which a user can intuitively and efficiently extract each trunk by a simple editing on the distance image created from the point cloud.We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed system from various experiments.
