Use of terrestrial or mobile lidar to extract structure and description of individual trees. Possible sponsor: NRCan.
The general use case here considers that the actual segmentation of individual trees and extraction of its main caracteristics is solved; it is mostly a black/grey box. The use case proposed does not cover visualisation of the input point cloud.
There would be a need to advance staging-in and staging-out processes. The former includes downloading the raw point-cloud data, either as a file or via streaming, subsetting of appropriate chunk of data, validation and cleaning of the point-cloud, etc. Staging out consists mostly of outputting individual trees location and their caracteristics in a WCS/WMS/WFS compatible server. In between, the extraction process needs to be packaged, set up, fed with parameters from the request and taken down.
