Forest stand delineation from lidar point-clouds using local maxima of the crown height model and region merging of the corresponding Voronoi cells

Olofsson, Kenneth; Holmgren, Johan

Abstract

In this study, a novel automatic forest stand segmentation method based on Voronoi cells and Airborne Laser Scanner data was developed and validated using a systematic grid of field plots. The automatic method produce results comparable to manual stand delineation.
