Low-cost mobile laser scanning for urban tree assessment: accuracy evaluation and application potential
Janusz Bedkowski
Recent advances in mobile laser scanning (MLS) have enabled rapid three-dimensional data acquisition for urban tree monitoring, providing an alternative to traditional terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and photogrammetric approaches. However, the high cost of commercial handheld mobile laser scanning (HMLS) systems limits their routine use in urban green-space inventories. This study evaluates the performance of a low-cost wearable MLS prototype based on a Livox MID-360 sensor and compares it wit
