Enhancing Tree Species Classification: Insights from YOLOv8 and Explainable AI Applied to TLS Point Cloud Projections

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2512.16950v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Aiming to advance research in the field of interpretability of deep learning models for tree species classification using TLS 3D point clouds we present insights in the classification abilities of YOLOv8 through a new framework which enables systematic analysis of saliency maps derived from CAM (Class Activation Mapping
