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 …

Forest ecosystems strongly contribute to the mitigation of climate change impacts through
the carbon stored in forests and through harvested wood products, such as sawed wood and …

Key message A method using terrestrial laser scanning and 3D quantitative structure
models opens up new possibilities to reconstruct tree architecture from tropical rainforest …

Tree volume is a key feature in forest monitoring, delivering information, such as wood
availability or forest carbon balance. To date, tree volume, ie the total volume of the above …

Street trees interlaced with other objects in cluttered point clouds of urban scenes inhibit the
automatic extraction of individual trees. This paper proposes a method for the automatic …

Tree architecture, defined as the three-dimensional arrangement of tree above-ground
elements, directly influences the biological and physical processes of vegetation such as …

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is often used to monitor landslides and other gravitational
mass movements with high levels of geometric detail and accuracy. However, unstructured …

Compact building models are demanded by global smart city applications, while high-
definition urban 3D data is increasingly accessible by dint of the advanced reality capture …

A novel meshless deformation model of biological soft tissue, which is mainly based on the
radial basis function point interpolation, is presented for interactive simulation applications …

Abstract Purpose of Review Since the late 1990s, researchers have been increasingly
utilising digital methodologies to assess the branch structure of trees. The emergence of …
