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

Funded by the @WoodlandTrust. With support from @AncientTreesATF
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 💦

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

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

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

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 🎄🎅

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!

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.

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
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
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.

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!)
A scan of the outside *and* inside of the Castle Oak 🌳Dinefwr Castle 🏰 @NTcarms 🏴 reveals its cavernous interior!

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
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
