🌳 TLS TREES 🌳

Check out our new paper on @biorxivpreprint TLS2trees: a scalable tree segmentation pipeline for TLS data biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

By combining existing deep-learning, new graph methods and a scalable architecture, the pipeline developed in this study allows segmentation of individual tree point clouds from plot-level TLS point cloud data, regardless of tree or plot size. buff.ly/467tlO6

Great to see @ChavanaBryant present SCATTER proj led by @kungphil with the @WoodlandTrust & @AncientTreesATF. We captured unique 3D data of 40 ancient oaks to understand extremes of form & new ways to assess these extraordinary organisms

Trying to find trees in LiDAR data? Problem: 100s of algorithms but hard to assess their accuracy Solution: use segmented TLS to label trees in ALS, then compare algorithms. Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.… @JgcBall @kungphil @kimcalders @mathiasdisney @Silvilaser23

For an MSc project we are looking for any TLS data of #Oak trees to complement our own dataset. Reach out if you have some data that you are willing to share with us! (Any high-quality point cloud data is very welcome!)

Neurons look like trees! We were inspired by Cajal and did some fun analysis! arxiv.org/abs/2307.01499
