Effects of Individual Tree Detection Error Sources on Forest Management Planning Calculations

The objective was to investigate the error sources of the airborne laser scanning based individual tree detection (ITD), and its effects on forest management planning calculations. The investigated error sources were detection of trees (etd), error in tree height prediction (eh) and error in tree di...
