PlantScan3D
Purpose
PlantScan3D is a visual tool to semi-automatically reconstruct botanical structure from laser scans. Different point processing algorithm allows to import, prepare and clean the point set. A number of algorithms allows to automatically infer a botanical skeleton from the point set. Users can then edit the skeletal structure by adding, deleting, repositioning or reorganizing segments in the structure. Different visualisation tools of the software make it possible to focus display of the laser points on a specific location making it possible to identify clearly the local branching configuration. The results are tree-like structures, whose nodes are associated with branch segments, and that represent the skeleton of the tree branching structure.
