Geometry-based point cloud fusion of dual-layer UAV photogrammetry and a modified unsupervised generative adversarial network for 3D tree reconstruction in semi-arid forests We present the first application of geometry-based relationship constraints for point-cloud registration and unsupervised 3D reconstruction of tree st…

The first application of geometry-based relationships for point-cloud registration and 3D reconstruction of tree structure in #semiarid #forest using UAV data, which offers potential for ecological applications in degraded ecosystems.

Red: vegetation by tuned EVI but non-vegetation by traditional EVI; Blue: the opposite

We conducted a binary visual comparison of EVI vegetation maps (traditional vs optimized) over a semi-arid mountain site.

Introducing a computationally light approach to estimate forest height and fractional canopy cover from Sentinel-2 data Accurate and timely monitoring of forest attributes such as canopy height and cover is crucial in the face of global climate change and its impact on …

In the context of #semiarid forests, our newly proposed #Sentinel-2 based vegetation index to track FCC and tree Height is computationally lightweight, tree density-independent and straightforward. More to read
