Title
Automatic extraction of street trees' nonphotosynthetic components from MLS data.
Abstract
•A new bottom-up hierarchical clustering algorithm to the nonphotosynthetic component extraction from MLS point clouds is proposed.•An energy function for grouping target points based on the Euclidean distance and principal direction is formulated.•The optimal combination in the clustering based on minimizing the proposed energy function is achieved.•A promising method for the stem detection and individual tree segmentation based on our extraction result is presented.
