Abstract:Tree position, tree height and diameter at breast height are extremely important structural parameters in forest sample plot surveys. Compared with traditional manual measurement methods, the advantages of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in terms of data acquisition efficiency and accuracy have led to its gradual and widespread use, but the research on the accuracy of TLS in extracting forest structural parameters is still insufficient. This paper analyzes the accuracy and effectiveness of TLS in extracting s… Show more
