Procedural Modelling of Tree Growth Using Multi-temporal Point Clouds

A digital reconstruction of real-life trees could provide many benefits in fields such as botany, forestry management, biology, and urban planning. Plant growth modelling in particular would enable the analysis of plant structure and behaviour in a customizable, widely applicable and non-destructive manner. Although many data-driven plant...

Automatic generation of raster-based height data for the Netherlands based on the AHN2 data set

The recent emergence of Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) scanning technology has resulted in the availability of very large three dimensional point cloud data sets. These LiDAR data sets have become a main source for the modeling and reconstruction of both ground surface as well as above-ground objects such as buildings and vegetation. For...
