Abstract
As a primary element of urban ecosystem, street trees are very essential for environmental quality and aesthetic beauty of urban landscape. Street trees play a crucial role in everyday life of city inhabitants and therefore, comprehensive and accurate inventory information for street trees is required. In this research, an automatic method is proposed to detect single street trees from airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) point cloud instead of traditional field work or photo interpretation. Firstly, raw LiDAR point cloud data have been classified to obtain high vegetation class with a hierarchical rule-based classification method. Then, the LiDAR points in high vegetation class were segmented with mean shift and Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithms to acquire single urban street trees in the Davutpasa Campus of Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. The accuracy assessment of the acquired street trees was also conducted using completeness and correctness analyses. The acquired results from urban study area approved the success of the proposed point-based approach for automatic detection of single street trees using LiDAR point cloud.
