Approach for modeling single branches of meadow orchard trees with 3D point clouds

TLDR
In this article, a tree skeleton model based on a pre-segmented photogrammetric 3D point cloud is used to automatically determine possible pruning points for stand-alone trees within meadows.
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.

Line-based deep learning method for tree branch detection from digital images

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed a method in which the orientation and the grasping positions of tree branches are estimated, based on which the straight line (representing the tree branch extension) is predicted by a CNN and a Hough transform is applied to estimate the direction and position of the line.

Random Forests

TL;DR: Internal estimates monitor error, strength, and correlation and these are used to show the response to increasing the number of features used in the forest, and are also applicable to regression.

Random sample consensus: a paradigm for model fitting with applications to image analysis and automated cartography

TL;DR: New results are derived on the minimum number of landmarks needed to obtain a solution, and algorithms are presented for computing these minimum-landmark solutions in closed form that provide the basis for an automatic system that can solve the Location Determination Problem under difficult viewing.
