🌳 TLS TREES 🌳

Tweeting some of the many trees captured by @UCLgeography TLS team. Soon to be bot account, monitored by @kungphil

[🌳 TLS TREES 🌳 @TLS_TREES]

Today we launch a database of 30+ ancient oaks 🌳 captured with #LiDAR

Funded by the @WoodlandTrust. With support from @AncientTreesATF

[Phil Wilkes @kungphil]

Come join us @wakehurst_kew!

#NatureUnlocked is recruiting for a Programme Officer to help us manage all the exciting projects we have going on, from carbon 🌳 to bees 🐝 to nature-connectedness 😀 to hydrology 💦

[🌳 TLS TREES 🌳 @TLS_TREES]

This was a @UKRI_News funded project led by @ashenkin with PIs @ymalhi, @mathiasdisney and @LP_Bentley. Scanning and data processing by @kungphil

[🌳 TLS TREES 🌳 @TLS_TREES]

353 million points, 598 branches, 455 trees, 12 plots, 3 countries!

All terrestrial LiDAR data and QSM models are now available open-access https://t.co/01mCotqAh2

Explore in 3D @Sketchfab: https://t.co/3asBYnIeWd

Branches were first stripped of their 🌿 then scanned in high-resolution.

🌲🌲some great coverage of our UK redwoods paper this week by @BBCMorelle 🌲🌲

Thanks to all coauthors @UCLgeography @KewScience @KewGIS

Scanning the @nidirect #BelvoirOak this morning as a side trip to @BritishEcolSoc. This tree completes 4 nations of our @WoodlandTrust funded #SCATTER project.

[🌳 TLS TREES 🌳 @TLS_TREES]

It has been a great year of scanning for team @TLS_TREES 🌳 back in May we embarked on the @WoodlandTrust funded #SCATTER project. One of our faves was Wyesham Oak, Monmouth, here reimagined for 🎄🎅

TLS2trees: a scalable tree segmentation pipeline for TLS data

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

For those that need to segment trees from terrestrial LiDAR data, we present #tls2trees!

Tested on 6 ha of @WythamWoods, we extracted 7615 trees using @cedanews HPC!

[Methods in Ecology and Evolution @MethodsEcolEvol]

By combining existing deep-learning, new graph methods and a scalable architecture, the pipeline developed in this study allows segmentation of individual tree point clouds from plot-level TLS point cloud data, regardless of tree or plot size.

Presenting our @WoodlandTrust #SCATTER work to our @AncientTreesATF friends!

[Mathias Disney @mathiasdisney]

Great to see @ChavanaBryant present SCATTER proj led by @kungphil with the @WoodlandTrust & @AncientTreesATF. We captured unique 3D data of 40 ancient oaks to understand extremes of form & new ways to assess these extraordinary organisms

[LTOA @LTOA33]

Next is @mathiasdisney speaking about using 3D measurements of urban trees using LiDAR.

[🌳 TLS TREES 🌳 @TLS_TREES]

Nice use of #tls2trees to generate a benchmark dataset for tree segmentation 🌳🌳🌳 Even better the benchmark data is now #OpenAccess

👏 @Toby_D_Jackson and team

[Toby Jackson @Toby_D_Jackson]

Trying to find trees in LiDAR data?

Problem: 100s of algorithms but hard to assess their accuracy

Solution: use segmented TLS to label trees in ALS, then compare algorithms.

Check out this beautiful image of oak trees by @kimcalders 😍🌳 such a great variety of crown shapes from one species

[Kim Calders @kimcalders]

For an MSc project we are looking for any TLS data of #Oak trees to complement our own dataset. Reach out if you have some data that you are willing to share with us! (Any high-quality point cloud data is very welcome!)

[🌳 TLS TREES 🌳 @TLS_TREES]

Great to see uptake of @TLS_TREES #tls2trees and applying it to mobile laser scanning in 🌲🌲🌲

Trees 🌳 kinda look like neurons 🧠

Is this just coincidence or do they really share similar branching traits?

A truly interdisciplinary paper from @KordingLab and @TLS_TREES

[Roozbeh Farhoodi @aha_momentum]

Neurons look like trees! We were inspired by Cajal and did some fun analysis!

This stunning image from the Colombian Chocó shows the tremendous effort and skill needed to measure the giants of the rainforest.

I find a shady spot to join a webinar on SCATTER, a @WoodlandTrust funded project to 3D laser scan 30+ ancient oaks.

Available to watch again at the @AncientTreesATF website along with a whole host of resources about ancient trees and their care. https://t.co/Urg3x18CA4

[🌳 TLS TREES 🌳 @TLS_TREES]

@pigsonthewing @WoodlandTrust We are processing the data atm but they will be! Watch this space...
