Bridging Tree-Level Quantification and Continuous Forest Structural Characterization: A Framework Integrating Tree Counts and Crown Structure from UAV Imagery Using Forest Structural Zones

Object detection and instance-segmentation methods have been widely used to locate trees and delineate individual crowns from aerial imagery, providing valuable tree-level information for estimating tree abundance, density, and spatial distribution. These variables form important inputs for quantitative assessments of...
