• Abstract: The cultivation of orchard meadows provides an ecological benefit for biodiversity, which is significantly higher than in intensively cultivated orchards. The goal of this research is to create a tree model to automatically determine possible pruning points for stand-alone trees within meadows. The algorithm which is presented here is capable of building a skeleton model based on a pre-segmented photogrammetric 3D point cloud. Good results were achieved in assigning the points to their leading branches and building a virtual tree model, reaching an overall accuracy of 95.19 %. This model provided the necessary information about the geometry of the tree for automated pruning.

• Forecasting with Hyper-Trees [50.72190208487953]
  Hyper-Trees are designed to learn the parameters of time series models. By relating the parameters of a target time series model to features, Hyper-Trees also address the issue of parameter non-stationarity. In this novel approach, the trees first generate informative representations from the input features, which a shallow network then maps to the target model parameters.

• Hierarchical clustering with dot products recovers hidden tree structure [53.68551192799585]
  In this paper we offer a new perspective on the well established agglomerative clustering algorithm, focusing on recovery of hierarchical structure. We recommend a simple variant of the standard algorithm, in which clusters are merged by maximum average dot product and not, for example, by minimum distance or within-cluster variance. We demonstrate that the tree output by this algorithm provides a bona fide estimate of generative hierarchical structure in data, under a generic probabilistic graphical model.

• DeepTree: Modeling Trees with Situated Latents [8.372189962601073]
  We propose a novel method for modeling trees based on learning developmental rules for branching structures instead of manually defining them. We call our deep neural model situated latent because its behavior is determined by the intrinsic state. Our method enables generating a wide variety of tree shapes without the need to define intricate parameters.

• A procedure for automated tree pruning suggestion using LiDAR scans of fruit trees [0.0]
  In fruit tree growth, pruning is an important management practice for preventing overcrowding, improving canopy access to light and promoting regrowth. We present a framework for suggesting pruning strategies on LiDAR-scanned commercial fruit trees using a scoring function. The light distribution was improved by up to 25.15%, demonstrating a 16% improvement over commercial pruning on a real tree, and certain cut points were discovered which improved light distribution with a smaller negative impact on tree volume.
