Local Knowledge Graph (37 entities)

Loading graph...

Knowledge graph centered on ITCSegment algorithm with 37 nodes and 126 connections. Top connected: Spruce, Atriplex canescens, Populus, Populus tremuloides, Picea engelmannii.

Description

Region-growing algorithm that iteratively incorporates LiDAR points into candidate tree canopies starting from seed locations identified as local height maxima with height-dependent neighborhoods.

Typical Equipment

  • ITCsegment algorithm (Dalponte and Coomes 2016)
  • lidR R package version 3.4

Output Measurements

  • individual tree locations
  • canopy volumes
  • tree heights
  • crown polygons
