Leaf Movements of Indoor Plants Monitored by Terrestrial LiDAR

Plant leaf movement is induced by some combination of different external and internal stimuli. Detailed geometric characterization of such movement is expected to improve understanding of these mechanisms. A metric high-quality, non-invasive and innovative sensor system to analyze plant movement is Terrestrial LiDAR (TLiDAR). This technique has...

Morphological changes along a dike landside slope sampled by 4D high resolution terrestrial laser scanning

Emergence of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology provides new tools for geomorphologic studies improving spatial and temporal resolution of data sampling hydrogeological instability phenomena. Specifically, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) collects high resolution 3D point clouds allowing more accurate monitoring of erosion rates...

Automatic Tree Breast Height Diameter Estimation from Laser Mobile Mapping Data in an Urban Context

This study focuses on developing an innovative methodology to automatically estimate the diameter at breast height (DBH) of urban trees sampled by a Laser Mobile Mapping System (LMMS). The high-quality results confirm the feasibility of the proposed methodology, providingscalability to a comprehensive analysis of urban trees.
