Multiple scans are often employed to capture and register data so that all of the stems can be detected and their complete forms can be analyzed. Researchers have traditionally preferred target-less strategies to register scans because of their low cost and convenience. However, in complex forest scenes, even state-of-the-art approaches cannot guarantee the success of any pairwise registration. In this study, we present an automated target-based processing approach for the registration of unordered scans in complex forest scenes. In contrast to previous studies, the proposed registration method automatically detects the artificial targets and builds a geometric network to judge their connectivity. A pose graph is then exploited to combine these data with the corresponding pairwise transformation, and then the scans are integrated into a unified coordinate system. This method is more robust and efficient than target-less approaches because it is independent of the characteristics of individual trees and does not require ground information. In an experimental scenario, we use an extremely complex wild bamboo forest scene to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach in terms of robustness, accuracy, and efficiency.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a class of neural networks, which can be used in forest inventory; however, no prior studies have developed a CNN model to detect tree crown and height simultaneously. This study is the first-of-its-kind that explored training a mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) for automatically and concurrently detecting discontinuous tree crown and height of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb) Hook) in a plantation. A DJI Phantom4-Multispectral Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) was used to obtain high-resolution images of the study site, Shunchang County, China. Tree crown and height of Chinese fir was manually delineated and derived from this UAV imagery. A portion of the ground-truthed tree height values were used as a test set, and the remaining measurements were used as the model training data. Six different band combinations and derivations of the UAV imagery were used to detect tree crown and height, respectively (Multi band-DSM, RGB-DSM, NDVI-DSM, Multi band-CHM, RGB-CHM, and NDVI-CHM combination). The Mask R-CNN model with the NDVI-CHM combination achieved superior performance. The accuracy of Chinese fir’s individual tree-crown detection was considerable (F1 score = 84.68%), the Intersection over Union (IoU) of tree crown delineation was 91.27%, and tree height estimates were highly correlated with the height from UAV imagery (R2 = 0.97, RMSE = 0.11 m, rRMSE = 4.35%) and field measurement (R2 = 0.87, RMSE = 0.24 m, rRMSE = 9.67%). Results demonstrate that the input image with an CHM achieves higher accuracy of tree crown delineation and tree height assessment compared to an image with a DSM. The accuracy and efficiency of Mask R-CNN has a great potential to assist the application of remote sensing in forests.

Mathematically optimized trajectory for terrestrial close-range photogrammetric 3D reconstruction of forest stands / Karel Kuželka in ISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing, vol 178 (August 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS Journal of photogrammetry and remote sensing > vol 178 (August 2021) . - pp 259 - 281 Titre : Mathematically optimized trajectory for terrestrial close-range photogrammetric 3D reconstruction of forest stands Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Karel Kuželka, Auteur ; Peter Surový, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 259 - 281 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Photogrammétrie terrestre [Termes IGN] détection automatique [Termes IGN] détection d'arbres [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] inventaire forestier (techniques et méthodes) [Termes IGN] optimisation (mathématiques) [Termes IGN] peuplement forestier [Termes IGN] problème du voyageur de commerce [Termes IGN] reconstruction 3D [Termes IGN] semis de points [Termes IGN] séquence d'images [Termes IGN] structure-from-motion [Termes IGN] trajectoire Résumé : (auteur) Terrestrial close-range photogrammetry offers a low-cost method of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of forest stands that provides automatically processable 3D data that can be used to evaluate inventory parameters of forest stands and individual trees. However, fundamental methodological problems in image acquisition and processing remain. This study enhances the methodology of photogrammetric Structure from Motion reconstruction of forest stands by determining the best photographer's trajectory for image acquisition. The study comprises 1) mathematical optimization of the route in a square grid using integer programming, 2) evaluation of point clouds derived from sequences of real photographs, simulating different trajectories, and 3) verification on real trajectories. In a forest research plot, we established a 1 m square grid of 625 (i.e., 25 × 25) photographic positions, and at each position, we captured 16 photographs in uniformly spaced directions. We adopted real tree positions and diameters, and the coordinates of the photographic positions, including orientation angles of captured images, were recorded. We then formulated an integer programming optimization model to find the most efficient trajectory that provided coverage of all sides of all trees with sufficient counts of images. Subsequently, we used the 10,000 captured images to produce image subsets simulating image sequences acquired during the photographer's movement along 84 different systematic trajectories of seven patterns based on either parallel lines or concentric orbits. 3D point clouds derived from the simulated image sequences were evaluated for their suitability for automatic tree detection and estimation of diameters at breast height. The results of the integer programming model indicated that the optimal trajectory consisted of parallel line segments if the camera is pointed forward – in the travel direction, or concentric orbits if the camera is pointed to a side – perpendicular to the travel direction. With point clouds derived from the images of the simulated trajectories, the best diameter estimates on automatically detected trees were achieved with trajectories consisting of parallel lines in two perpendicular directions where each line was passed in both opposite directions. For efficient image acquisition, resulting in point clouds of reasonable quality with low counts of images, a trajectory consisting of concentric orbits, including the plot perimeter with the camera pointed towards the plot center, proved to be the best. Results of simulated trajectories were verified with the photogrammetric reconstruction of the forest stand based on real trajectories for six patterns. The mathematical optimization was consistent with the results of the experiment, which indicated that mathematical optimization may represent a valid tool for planning trajectories for photogrammetric 3D reconstruction of scenes in general.

Detecting structural changes induced by Heterobasidion root rot on Scots pines using terrestrial laser scanning / Timo P Pitkänen in Forest ecology and management, vol 492 (15 July 2021)  

Public [article]  inForest ecology and management > vol 492 (15 July 2021) . - n° 119239 Titre : Detecting structural changes induced by Heterobasidion root rot on Scots pines using terrestrial laser scanning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Timo P Pitkänen, Auteur ; Tuula Piri, Auteur ; Aleski Lehtonen, Auteur ; Mikko Peltoniemi, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 119239 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] arbre mort [Termes IGN] détection de changement [Termes IGN] diamètre à hauteur de poitrine [Termes IGN] données lidar [Termes IGN] Finlande [Termes IGN] Fungi [Termes IGN] houppier [Termes IGN] maladie phytosanitaire [Termes IGN] Pinus sylvestris [Termes IGN] semis de points Résumé : (auteur) Root rot, caused by the decay fungus Heterobasidion annosum, damages both below- and above-ground parts of Scots pines (Pinus Sylvestris L.). The diseased pines are often first characterized by deteriorated crowns and they will eventually be killed by the infection, but the process is gradual and difficult to be observed before the symptoms are severe. We tested the applicability of point cloud data produced by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for quantifying the structural differences between the healthy and the diseased trees. This approach was applied in a mature pine stand in southern Finland, which was known to be infected by H. annosum. We first scanned the stand using TLS, and thereafter felled the trees for detailed inspection and classification of the infection status. From the TLS point cloud, we estimated i) crosscut areas within the lowest 1 m of the stem, identifying potential deformations initiated by the fungus, ii) degree of crown deterioration, often providing the first visual signs of the infection at the level of individual trees, and iii) crown occupancy and open space around the trees, prone to be altered by the mycelial spread of the fungus between the adjacent trees. The results indicate that differences in both stem dimensions and crown deterioration can be detected between the healthy and the diseased trees. The diseased trees were found to have a more swollen butt, but no irregularities in circularity of the crosscuts were detected. In terms of vertical point distribution, the diseased trees had point accumulations at substantially greater heights, reflecting easier penetration of laser beams and sparsity of the crown. Regarding to crown occupancy, the diseased trees had more open space around their crowns, but difference to the healthy trees was not statistically significant. According to a simple prediction test based on the calculated features, up to 85% classification accuracy of the infection status was reached. This study is the first indication that TLS can successfully be applied for detecting structural changes of Scots pines connected to Heterobasidion root rot. Our results also show evidence that H. annosum causes butt swelling, which has rarely been reported as a symptom for Scots pines.

Estimation of biomass increase and CUE at a young temperate scots pine stand concerning drought occurrence by combining eddy covariance and biometric methods / Paulina Dukat in Forests, vol 12 n° 7 (July 2021)

Traditionally, in situ measurements are done by inventorying a number of trees and their biometric parameters such as diameter at the breast height (DBH) and height; sometimes these are complemented by carbon (C) content studies. Here we present the estimation of net primary productivity (NPP) over a two years period (2019–2020) at a 25-year-old Scots pine stand. Research was based on allometric equations made by direct biomass analysis (tree extraction) and carbon content estimations in individual components of sampled trees, combined with a series of stem diameter increments recorded by a network of band dendrometers. Site-specific allometric equations were obtained using two different approaches: using the whole tree biomass vs DBH (M1), and total dry biomass-derived as a sum of the results from individual tree components’ biomass vs DBH (M2). Moreover, equations for similar forest stands from the literature were used for comparison. Gross primary productivity (GPP) estimated from the eddy-covariance measurements allowed the calculation of carbon use efficiency (CUE = NPP/GPP). The two investigated years differed in terms of the sum and patterns of precipitation distribution, with a moderately dry year of 2019 that followed the extremely dry 2018, and the relatively average year of 2020. As expected, a higher increase in biomass was recorded in 2020 compared to 2019, as determined by both allometric equations based on in situ and literature data. For the former approach, annual NPP estimates reached ca. 2.0–2.1 t C ha−1 in 2019 and 2.6–2.7 t C ha−1 in 2020 depending on the “in situ equations” (M1-M2) used, while literature-derived equations for the same site resulted in NPP values ca. 20–30% lower. CUE was higher in 2020, which resulted from a higher NPP total than in 2019, with lower summer and spring GPP in 2020. However, the CUE values were lower than those reported in the literature for comparable temperate forest stands. A thorough analysis of the low CUE value would require a full interpretation of interrelated physiological responses to extreme conditions.
