TLS2trees: A scalable tree segmentation pipeline forTLSdata

Phil Wilkes,
Mathias Disney,
John Armston
et al.

Abstract: Above‐ground biomass (AGB) is an important metric used to quantify the mass of carbon stored in terrestrial ecosystems. For forests, this is routinely estimated at the plot scale (typically 1 ha) using inventory measurements and allometry. In recent years, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has appeared as a disruptive technology that can generate a more accurate assessment of tree and plot scale AGB; however, operationalising TLS methods has had to overcome a number of challenges. One such challenge is the segm… Show more

“…Segmented point clouds of individual trees were extracted using the TLSeparation [ 27 ] and TLS2trees [ 28 ] Python tools. Tree volumes were calculated by fitting quantitative structural models (QSMs) to the resulting leaf-off point clouds using TreeQSM [ 29 , 30 ] and optimized using the optqsm tool [ 31 ].…”
