Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was introduced for basic forest measurements, such as tree
height and diameter, in the early 2000s. Recent advances in sensor and algorithm …

This review reports the recent state of the art in the field of mobile robots applied to precision
agriculture. After a brief introduction to precision agriculture, the review focuses on two main …

Quantifying ecosystem carbon fluxes and stocks is essential for better understanding the
global carbon cycle and improving projections of the carbon-climate feedbacks. Remote …

Quantifying forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is essential for elucidating the global carbon
cycle and the response of forest ecosystems to climate change. Over the past five decades …

The last two decades have witnessed increasing awareness of the potential of terrestrial
laser scanning (TLS) in forest applications in both public and commercial sectors, along with …

Forest inventory and management requirements are changing rapidly in the context of an
increasingly complex set of economic, environmental, and social policy objectives …

Decision making on forest resources relies on the precise information that is collected using
inventory. There are many different kinds of forest inventory techniques that can be applied …

Crop improvement efforts are targeting increased above-ground biomass and radiation-use
efficiency as drivers for greater yield. Early ground cover and canopy height contribute to …

An open source tool named SimpleTree, capable of modelling highly accurate cylindrical
tree models from terrestrial laser scan point clouds, is presented and evaluated. All …

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology has been widely used in forestry surveys
in the form of airborne laser scanning (ALS), terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), and mobile …
