Estimating the Diameter at Breast Height of Trees in a Forest from RGB

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2505.03093v3 Announce Type: replace Forest inventories rely on accurate measurements of the diameter at breast height (DBH) for ecological monitoring, resource management, and carbon accounting. While LiDAR-based techniques can achieve centimeter-level precision, they are cost-prohibitive and operationally complex. We present a low-cost alternative that only needs a consumer-grade 360 video camera.
