A real-time, hardware agnostic framework for close-up branch reconstruction using RGB data

Alexander You, Aarushi Mehta, Luke Strohbehn +3

Creating accurate 3D models of tree topology is an important task for tree pruning. The 3D model is used to decide which branches to prune and then to execute the pruning cuts. Pre…
