treetop: A Shiny‐based application and R package for extracting forest information from LiDAR data for ecologists and conservationists

Abstract

Individual tree detection (ITD) and crown delineation are two of the most relevant methods for extracting detailed and reliable forest information from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) datasets. However, advanced computational skills and specialized knowledge have been normally required to extract forest information from LiDAR.
