Abstract Background The universal occurrence of randomly distributed dark holes (i.e., data pits appearing within the tree crown) in LiDAR-derived canopy height models (CHMs) negatively affects the accuracy of extracted forest inventory parameters. Methods We develop an algorithm based on cloth simulation for constructing a pit-free CHM. Results The proposed algorithm effectively fills data pits of various sizes whilst preserving canopy details. Our pit-free CHMs derived from point clouds at different proportions of data pits are remarkably better than those constructed using other algorithms, as evidenced by the lowest average root mean square error (0.4981 m) between the reference CHMs and the constructed pit-free CHMs. Moreover, our pit-free CHMs show the best performance overall in terms of maximum tree height estimation (average bias = 0.9674 m). Conclusion The proposed algorithm can be adopted when working with different quality LiDAR data and shows high potential in forestry applications.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of six data structures for managing voxelised full-waveform airborne LiDAR data during 3D polygonal model creation. While full-waveform LiDAR data has been available for over a decade, extraction of peak points is the most widely used approach of interpreting them. The increased information stored within the waveform data makes interpretation and handling difficult. It is, therefore, important to research which data structures are more appropriate for storing and interpreting the data. In this paper, we investigate the performance of six data structures while voxelising and interpreting full-waveform LiDAR data for 3D polygonal model creation. The data structures are tested in terms of time efficiency and memory consumption during run-time and are the following: (1) 1D-Array that guarantees coherent memory allocation, (2) Voxel Hashing, which uses a hash table for storing the intensity values (3) Octree (4) Integral Volumes that allows finding the sum of any cuboid area in constant time, (5) Octree Max/Min, which is an upgraded octree and (6) Integral Octree, which is proposed here and it is an attempt to combine the benefits of octrees and Integral Volumes. In this paper, it is shown that Integral Volumes is the more time efficient data structure but it requires the most memory allocation. Furthermore, 1D-Array and Integral Volumes require the allocation of coherent space in memory including the empty voxels, while Voxel Hashing and the octree related data structures do not require to allocate memory for empty voxels. These data structures, therefore, and as shown in the test conducted, allocate less memory. To sum up, there is a need to investigate how the LiDAR data are stored in memory. Each tested data structure has different benefits and downsides; therefore, each application should be examined individually.
