forest3D is a set of tools for analysing pointclouds of a forest. Updated form of 3D-tools.

Running a packaged module as a script gives an error on the relative import; it is recommended to write a script which imports forestutils and calls forestutils.main()

Features:

  • Detect, map, and extract trees from the full pointcloud
  • Calculate location, height, canopy area, and colour of each tree
  • Losslessly reduce pointcloud size by discarding ground points

It is written in pure Python (3.4+), available under the GPL3 license, and can analyse multi-gigabyte datasets in surprisingly little memory.
