Extract individual trees from lidar point clouds

Table of contents

Overview

treeseg has been developed to near-automatically segment individual tree point clouds from high-density larger-area lidar point clouds acquired in forests. A formal, albeit somewhat outdated description of the methods can be found in our paper.

Installation

treeseg has been developed and tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS only, and is dependent on the following packages:

  • Point Cloud Library (v1.10)
  • Armadillo (v9.8)

These dependencies are installed via apt:

apt install libpcl-dev libarmadillo-dev

treeseg can then be installed using:

git clone https://github.com/apburt/treeseg.git;
mkdir ./treeseg/build; cd ./treeseg/build; cmake ..; make;

Optionally, for users with RIEGL V-Line scan data, treeseg includes the executable rxp2pcd, to convert and preprocess data in RXP data stream format, to binary PCD format. This executable will automatically be built if the directories ./treeseg/include/reigl/ and ./treeseg/lib/riegl/ are populated with the RIEGL RiVLIB headers and libraries (as appropriate for the user's particular CPU architecture and gcc version), which can be downloaded from the Members Area of the RIEGL website (e.g., rivlib-2_5_10-x86_64-linux-gcc9.zip).

Finally, the environment variable PATH can then be updated to include the directory containing the built treeseg executables, either temporarily, by calling the following, or permanently, by inserting it at the top of ~/.bashrc:

export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/treeseg/build"

Usage

A tutorial demonstrating the usage of treeseg is available here.

Acknowledgements

treeseg makes extensive use of the Point Cloud Library (PCL).
