Identifying treetops from aerial laser scanning data with particle swarming optimization

In this study, the particle swarming optimization procedure was applied to parametrize two Local Maxima (LM) algorithms in order to extract treetops from LiDAR-data in a test area (10 km2) of heterogeneous forest structures of conifers in the Alps. The obtained results were compared with those of a...
