Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is more and more used to measure tree volume in 3D. But how accurately can we model small branches?

Map shows the general pattern of drone privacy laws across the globe. Privacy and security concerns will see a strong tightening of regulations I'd expect. As always, regulation will follow innovation. Source: https://t.co/gPDiRctWvA

By fusing #TLS and #ALS point clouds variability of wood properties can be predicted w/ tree- and stand-level indicators. Canopy closure was found an important feature for characterizing variation in wood properties.
