## Automatic Processing of Terrestrial-Based Technologies Point Cloud Data for Forestry Purposes
Process automation of point cloud data derived from terrestrial-based technologies such as Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) or Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). 'FORTLS' enables (i) detection of trees and estimation of tree-level attributes (e.g. diameters and heights), (ii) estimation of stand-level variables (e.g. density, basal area, mean and dominant height), (iii) computation of metrics related to important forest attributes estimated in Forest Inventories (FIs) at stand-level, and (iv) optimization of plot design for combining TLS data and field measured data. Documentation about 'FORTLS' is described in Molina-Valero et al. (2022, ).

# Acknowledgements 

**FORTLS** it is being developed at [University of Santiago de Compostela](https://www.usc.gal/en).

Development of the `FORTLS` package is being possible thanks to the following projects:

* Modelling the effects of intensity of perturbation on the structure of natural forests and their carbon stocks by using data from the National Forestry Inventory (AL2016-76769-C2-2-R) supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
* Development of the Galician continuous forest inventory (2020-CP031) supported by the Regional Government of Galicia.
* Design of forest monitoring systems on a regional scale (ED431F 2020/02) supported by the Regional Government of Galicia.
