“…The reason is that without this kind of knowledge, almost no results about tree properties can be comprehensively mapped (Naidoo et al, 2012), which may lead to wrong management decisions and incorrect scientific conclusions (Holopainen and Talvitie, 2006). Thereby, accurately identifying tree species is of great significance for tree-related scientific research and practical applications, and across the relevant Hong, 2008; Zhang and Hu, 2012;Singh et al, 2015). For instance, the feature parameters capable of characterizing crown structural profiles were derived from the spectral images and attempted for improving the performance of tree species classification (Zhang and Hu, 2012).…”
