1 Terrestrial Laser Scanning: Can we see the wood for the trees Kenneth Olofsson SLU
2 Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) A laser scanner placed in the area of interest scans 360º, resulting in a 3D point cloud Signal analysis techniques can be used to derive forestry parameters from the 3D point cloud
3 Why use TLS data? Could make field inventory more efficient and reduce the risk of errors due to the human factor An increased amount of information from the field survey The positions of the tree stems can be derived for co-registration with airborne data
4 Forestry parameters extracted from TLS-data Tree position Stem diameter (dbh) Stem profile Tree height Volume Stem shapes Branch structure Leaf area index
5 Extract trees from TLS data
6 TLS results Stem profile RMSE ~1 cm Kenneth Olofsson and Johan Holmgren Single Tree Stem Profile Detection Using Terrestrial Laser Scanner Data, Flatness Saliency Features and Curvature Properties Forests 2016, 7(9), 207; doi: /f
7 Single/multiple scan setup A: Single scan Pro:Short scanning time, Easy to use Con: Shading of trees B: Multiple scan Pro: High point density, Small amount of shading Con: Accurate co-registration necessary. Scanning time is long
8 Simulated TLS field plot
9 Examples of shading of stems in TLS field plots The whole stem is visible At least half of the stem is visible At least a small part of the stem is visible The center of the stem is visible The left edge of the stem is visible The right edge of the stem is visible The stem is shaded
