It is required that the estimation of a three-dimensional structure is accurate enough. Here, a voxel-based data processing seems to be an effective method because it divides space using the virtual cube with reduced data. In this study, we attempt to estimate a three-dimensional structure in evergreen coniferous species in a mature stand. Measurements were conducted using a major species of the boreal forest, Abies sachalinensis , in a 40-year-old plantation site. Using point cloud data obtained by terrestrial laser scanner, the vertical trend of trunk diameter was firstly measured, and then the stem volume and branch-leaf biomass at every 2 m layer were estimated using a voxel-based method with eight kinds of candidate size options. They were compared to the actual data acquired after artificial felling of trees. Trunk diameter was successfully estimated from ground to tree height of more than 60%, showing an RMSE of 2.30 cm. It is also demonstrated that error tends to increase as the measurement position gets higher. Stem volume represented high correlation with the manually measured values, except for the case that uses a maximum size of voxel size(0.2 m).Especially, the voxel size of 0.08 m","PeriodicalId":234210,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Forest Planning","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132154255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty leaves (10 species) collected at the Kyoto University and Kyoto Prefectural University Campus were used as samples in this study. Seven learning patterns were determined from the differences in photography methods and conditions. The venation patterns were evaluated by histograms of oriented gradients (HOG). Two decision-tree algorithms (J48, RandomForest), a lazy learning (IBk) and a neural network (MultilayerPerceptron) were used for machine-learning classification. A performance evaluation of the proposed model was performed with Matthews correlation coefficient ( MCC ) and correct answer rate. The classification accuracy for test data was verified by the 10-fold cross-validation method. Every learning pattern resulted in classification accuracy for training data; however, the classification accuracy for test data varied greatly according to the difference in learning patterns. By considering camera-to-subject distance, the angle at which subjects were photographed, and the light environment, high classification accuracy could be obtained from the leaf images, which were photographed with a mobile device.","PeriodicalId":234210,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Forest Planning","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128651596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
