The existing methods are also inefficient when dealing with large-scale point clouds. In this paper, a novel automatic registration framework is presented to align point clouds efficiently and robustly. First, the overall number of scans is grouped into several scan-blocks by a proposed blocking strategy, and we build the pairwise relationship among scans through a fully connected graph in each scan-block. Second, perform loop-based coarse registration in each scan-block using a proposed false matches removal strategy. The proposed strategy can effectively identify grossly wrong scan-to-scan matches. Third, the minimum spanning tree is extracted from the graph, and ICP is applied along its edges. Moreover, the Lu–Milios algorithm is used to further optimize all poses at once by utilizing all redundant information in each scan-block. Finally, global block-to-block registration aligns all scan-blocks into a uniform coordinate reference. We test our framework on challenging WHU-TLS datasets, ETH datasets, and Robotic 3D Scan datasets to evaluate the efficiency, accuracy, as well as robustness. The experiment results show that our method achieves the state-of-the-art accuracy, while the time performance is improved by more than 30% compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms.

H.Karst) trees planted with high stem densities produce finely branched, solid logs but are vulnerable to extreme weather events, e.g., storms. Over the last decades spruce stands have been planted at lower stand densities, resulting in wider crowns, lower crown bases, and higher stand stability, but this might decrease the quality of coniferous timber due to an increased growing rate and wider annual rings. Therefore, in this case study we investigated the influence of different silvicultural treatments and stand densities on tree morphology and wood properties of 100 spruce trees up to sawn timber as the final product. Tree morphology was assessed using mobile laser scanning. Ring width analysis, wood density measurements, and the four-point bending strength test on visually graded boards were conducted to gain information on wood properties and product quality. In stands thinned from below, higher wood densities were observed due to smaller annual rings compared to stands that were thinned from above at equal annual ring widths. In addition, crown asymmetry and the height-to-diameter ratio were identified as proxies for wood density. Lastly, visually assessed quality differences between the forest stands were discerned on the examined boards.

Return cloud metrics and their normalization using different typologies of Digital Terrain Models (DTM), either derived from SfM or from private or free access ALS, were evaluated. In addition, the influence of the return density (0.5–6.5 returns m-2) and the sampling intensity (0.3–3.4%) on the estimation of the most common stand structure variables were also analysed. The objective of this research is to gather all these questions in the same document, so that they serve as support for the planning of forest management. This study analyses the variables collected from 60 regularly distributed circular plots (r = 18 m) in a 150-ha of uneven-aged Scots pine stand. Results indicated that both ALS and SfM can be equally used to reduce the sampling error in the field inventories, but they showed differences when estimating the stand structure variables. ALS produced significantly better estimations than the SfM metrics for all the variables of interest, as well as the ALS-based normalization. However, the SfM point cloud produced better estimations when it was normalized with its own DTM, except for the dominant height. The return density did not have significant influence on the estimation of the stand structure variables in the range studied, while higher sampling intensities decreased the estimation errors. Nevertheless, these were stabilized at certain intensities depending on the variance of the stand structure variable.

Semantic segmentation of urban textured meshes through point sampling / Grégoire Grzeczkowicz in ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, vol V-2-2022 (2022 edition)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences > vol V-2-2022 (2022 edition) . - pp 177 - 184 Titre : Semantic segmentation of urban textured meshes through point sampling Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Grégoire Grzeczkowicz , Auteur ; Bruno Vallet , Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Projets : 1-Pas de projet / Article en page(s) : pp 177 - 184 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications photogrammétriques [Termes IGN] échantillonnage de données [Termes IGN] maillage [Termes IGN] maille carrée [Termes IGN] maille texturée [Termes IGN] maille triangulaire [Termes IGN] scène urbaine [Termes IGN] segmentation sémantique [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] traitement de semis de points Résumé : (auteur) Textured meshes are becoming an increasingly popular representation combining the 3D geometry and radiometry of real scenes. However, semantic segmentation algorithms for urban mesh have been little investigated and do not exploit all radiometric information. To address this problem, we adopt an approach consisting in sampling a point cloud from the textured mesh, then using a point cloud semantic segmentation algorithm on this cloud, and finally using the obtained semantic to segment the initial mesh. In this paper, we study the influence of different parameters such as the sampling method, the density of the extracted cloud, the features selected (color, normal, elevation) as well as the number of points used at each training period. Our result outperforms the state-of-the-art on the SUM dataset, earning about 4 points in OA and 18 points in mIoU.

Two-phase forest inventory using very-high-resolution laser scanning / Henrik J. Persson in Remote sensing of environment, vol 271 (March- 2 2022)

Persson, Auteur ; Kenneth Olofsson, Auteur ; Johan Holmgren, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 112909 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] échantillonnage [Termes IGN] forêt boréale [Termes IGN] hauteur des arbres [Termes IGN] inférence statistique [Termes IGN] inventaire forestier (techniques et méthodes) [Termes IGN] lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] modélisation de la forêt [Termes IGN] peuplement forestier [Termes IGN] Suède [Termes IGN] télémétrie laser terrestre [Vedettes matières IGN] Inventaire forestier Résumé : (auteur) In this study, we compared a two-phase laser-scanning-based forest inventory of stands versus a traditional field inventory using sample plots. The two approaches were used to estimate stem volume (VOL), Lorey's mean height (HL), Lorey's stem diameter (DL), and VOL per tree species in a study area in Sweden. The estimates were compared at the stand level with the harvested reference values obtained using a forest harvester. In the first phase, a helicopter acquired airborne laser scanning (ALS) data with >500 points/m2 along 50-m wide strips across the stands. These strips intersected systematic plots in phase two, where terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was used to model DL for individual trees. In total, phase two included 99 plots across 10 boreal forest stands in Sweden (lat 62.9° N, long 16.9° E). The single trees were segmented in both the ALS and TLS data and linked to each other. The very-high-resolution ALS data enabled us to directly measure tree heights and also classify tree species using a convolutional neural network. Stem volume was predicted from the predicted DBH and the estimated height, using national models, and aggregated at the stand level. The study demonstrates a workflow to derive forest variables and stand-level statistics that has potential to replace many manual field inventories thanks to its time efficiency and improved accuracy. To evaluate the inventories, we estimated bias, RMSE, and precision, expressed as standard error. The laser-scanning-based inventory provided estimates with an accuracy considerably higher than the field inventory. The RMSE was 17 m3/ha (7.24%), 0.9 m (5.63%), and 16 mm (5.99%) for VOL, HL, and DL respectively. The tree species classification was generally successful and improved the three species-specific VOL estimates by 9% to 74%, compared to field estimates. In conclusion, the demonstrated laser-scanning-based inventory shows potential to replace some future forest inventories, thanks to the increased accuracy demonstrated empirically in the Swedish forest study area.
