Abstract:The analysis of trunk shape and, in particular, the geometric structures on the bark surface are of main interest for different applications linked to the wood industry or biological studies. Bark singularities are often external records of the history of the development of internal elements. The actors of the forest sector grade the trees by considering these singularities through standards. In this paper, we propose a method using terrestrial LiDAR data to automatically segment singularities on tree surfaces… Show more
