IDENTIFYING STANDING DEAD TREES IN FOREST AREAS BASED ON 3D SINGLE TREE DETECTION FROM FULL WAVEFORM LIDAR DATA
In forest ecology, a snag refers to a standing, partly or completely dead tree, often missing a top or most of the smaller branches. The accurate estimation of live and dead biomass in forested ecosystems is important for studies of carbon dynamics, biodiversity, and forest management. Therefore, an...
