Volume estimates of trees with complex architecture from terrestrial laser scanning (2008, methodology): “[26] recognized a limitation of their method was that stem reconstruction was only applied up to the crown base.”
Estimation of stem attributes using a combination of terrestrial and airborne laser scanning (2012, methodology): “This is similar to fitting cylinders along the stem (Thies et al. 2004) although the second step was added to make the estimation less sensitive to the local influence of branches.”
Fast Automatic Precision Tree Models from Terrestrial Laser Scanner Data (2013, methodology): “In forest research, TLS has been used for the detailed modeling of individual trees and canopies [7,8,11,13,14].”
Non Destructive Method for Biomass Prediction Combining TLS Derived Tree Volume and Wood Density (2015, methodology): “[8] used registered TLS data derived from three scan positions per tree to perform a more accurate stem modeling.”
