- import additional data from GIS of the forest management - to do stand wise calculations information on the stands is required. Therefore an arcinfo program was developed to extract the boundaries of each stand
- by making use of the GIS data the matching part of the previously derived DTM was cut out and the DSM calculated from laser scanner data. The difference image of DTM and DSM represents the relevant laser pulse hits on the vegetation surface
- single tree detection
- application of the timber volume formulas
- final output: dominant height, list of all trees with height, estimated dbh and timber volume
