DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-98522-7
Abstract: Accurately mapping individual tree species in densely forested environments is crucial to forest inventory. When considering only RGB images, this is a challenging task for many automatic photogrammetry processes. The main reason for that is… read more here.
