This paper reviews the past and current trends of three-dimensional (3D) modeling and
reconstruction of plants and trees. These topics have been studied in multiple research …

Background Laser scanning technology has opened new horizons for the research of forest
dynamics, because it provides a largely automated and non-destructive method to rapidly …

Laser scanning from different acquisition platforms enables the collection of 3D point clouds
from different perspectives and with varying resolutions. These point clouds allow us to …

Accurately monitoring forest insects and diseases disturbances is important for managing
forests and implementing effective forest quality improvement measures. However …

Leaf‐wood separation in terrestrial LiDAR data is a prerequisite for non‐destructively
estimating biophysical forest properties such as standing wood volumes and leaf area …

Forest above-ground biomass (AGB) can be estimated based on light detection and ranging
(LiDAR) point clouds. This paper introduces an accurate and detailed quantitative structure …

Abstract Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) has been increasingly used in forestry
applications including forest inventory and plant ecology. Tree biophysical properties such …

We show how a Transformer can encode hierarchical tree-like string structures by
introducing a new deep learning-based framework for generating 3D biological tree models …

Tree modeling and visualization still represent a challenge in the light detecting and ranging
area. Starting from the segmented tree point clouds, this article presents an innovative tree …

Tree-level information can be estimated based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point
clouds. We propose to develop a quantitative structural model based on terrestrial laser …
