• Abstract summary: Individual tree detection and crown delineation (ITDD) are critical in forest inventory management. We propose a ITDD method using the orthophoto and digital surface model (DSM) derived from the multi-view satellite data. Experiments against manually marked tree plots on three representative regions have demonstrated promising results.

• Abstract: Individual tree detection and crown delineation (ITDD) are critical in forest inventory management and remote sensing based forest surveys are largely carried out through satellite images. However, most of these surveys only use 2D spectral information which normally has not enough clues for ITDD. To fully explore the satellite images, we propose a ITDD method using the orthophoto and digital surface model (DSM) derived from the multi-view satellite data. Our algorithm utilizes the top-hat morphological operation to efficiently extract the local maxima from DSM as treetops, and then feed them to a modi-fied superpixel segmentation that combines both 2D and 3D information for tree crown delineation. In subsequent steps, our method incorporates the biological characteristics of the crowns through plant allometric equation to falsify potential outliers. Experiments against manually marked tree plots on three representative regions have demonstrated promising results - the best overall detection accuracy can be 89%.

  We present a novel open-access dataset for individual tree crown delineation (TCD) in high-resolution aerial imagery sourced from OpenMap (OAM) Our dataset, OAM-TCD, comprises 5072 2048x2048px images at 10 cm/px resolution with associated human-labeled instance masks for over 280k individual and 56k groups of trees. Using our dataset, we train reference instance and semantic segmentation models that compare favorably to existing state-of-the-art models.

  Two-dimensional remote sensing imagery primarily shows overstory canopy, and it does not facilitate easy differentiation of individual trees in areas with a dense canopy. We leverage the fusion of three-dimensional LiDAR measurements and 2D imagery to facilitate the accurate counting of trees. We compare a deep learning approach to counting trees in forests using 3D airborne LiDAR data and 2D imagery.
