Abstract:Abstract. To explore how trees optimize their structure, we developed a method based on Pareto optimality theory. This method consists of the following operations. Firstly, we utilize Quantitative Structure Models for Single Trees from Laser Scanner Data (TreeQSM) to extract tree structures from point clouds acquired through Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). Subsequently, we utilize a graph-theoretical model to characterize the natural tree structure networks and implement a greedy algorithm to generate Par… Show more
