Deriving Merchantable Volume in Poplar through a Localized Tapering Function from Non-Destructive Terrestrial Laser Scanning
Timber volume is an important ecological component in forested landscapes. The application of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to volume estimation has been widely accepted though few species have well-calibrated taper functions. This research uses TLS technology in poplar (Populus ˆ canadensis Moench cv. ‘I-72/58’) to extract stem diameter at different tree heights and establish the relationsh...
متن کاملGenerating Building Outlines from Terrestrial Laser Scanning
Terrestrial laser scanned point cloud is a valuable data source for automatic building reconstruction. Detailed building facade structures from wall, roof, extrusion etc., can be recovered from the explicit three dimensional coordinates in the laser points. This paper presents our approach which generates building outlines semi-automatically from recognized building features. First, concave pol...
متن کاملExtracting Windows from Terrestrial Laser Scanning
With the high density point clouds obtained with terrestrial laser scanning, detailed building facade structures, such as windows, can be recovered. There are usually only a few laser points available for windows, because window frames are small parts on walls, and window glass reflects no laser beam. Insufficient raw laser information makes it very difficult to recover reliable geometry of a w...
متن کاملLaser Scanning Thermal Probe: Anovel Approach to Non-destructive Evaluation
Structural defects such as cracks have recently been identifiable through a new nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique know as sonic IR or thennosonics. However, these defects are depicted through thennal imagining system as localized "hoI spots" indicating a general location of a defect without an accurate portrayal of the dimensions or shape of the defect. This paper demonstrates a new tec...
متن کاملDeriving Fuel Mass by Size Class in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning
Requirements for describing coniferous forests are changing in response to wildfire concerns, bio-energy needs, and climate change interests. At the same time, technology advancements are transforming how forest properties can be measured. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) is yielding promising results for measuring tree biomass parameters that, historically, have required costly destructive sam...
