Abstract

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is an important technique to obtain the side view data under the forest canopy and the registration of TLS data captured from different positions is an important step to obtain a complete forest dataset. As commonly used TLS data registration methods are not suitable for the forest scene, this paper presents a registration method of forest TLS data based on orienting and positioning data of smartphone. The coarse transformation parameters between two scans are calculated based on the initial scanner direction and position of each scan, and then used as the input of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm for stem position points to get the fine transformation parameters. The experimental results show that this method can achieve accurate alignment of the stem points captured from different sides in case of no artificial targets and poor intervisibility between different scans.
