Estimating Tree Position, Diameter at Breast Height, and Tree Height in Real-Time Using a Mobile Phone with RGB-D SLAM

Accurate estimation of tree position, diameter at breast height (DBH), and tree height measurements is an important task in forest inventory.Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) is an important solution.However, the poor global navigation satellite system (GNSS) coverage under the canopy makes the MLS system unable to provide globally-consistent point cloud
