Detection of fallen trees in ALS point clouds by learning the Normalized Cut similarity function from simulated samples

Fallen trees participate in several important forest processes, which motivates the need for information about their spatial distribution in forest ecosystems. Several studies have shown that airborne LiDAR is a valuable tool for obtaining such information. In this paper, we propose an integrated me...
