“…More authors [77,[90][91][92] dealt with methods of point cloud misalignment evaluation, partitioning, and registration, including adaptive time-based [77,93] and spacebased [94] partitioning methods. Point cloud registration has also been paid considerable attention [92,94,95], including the coarse-to-fine strategy [90,96,97] and iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm application [92,[98][99][100][101][102]. Clustering points of the misaligned point cloud from the MLS survey of the forest into point clouds with no copies of the scanned objects using time partitioning has previously proved to be efficient [10,21,50].…”
