In the past decade, the use of three-dimensional forest information from airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has become widespread in forest inventories. Accurate Individual Treetop Detection (ITD) and crown boundary delineation using LiDAR data are critical for obtaining precise inventory metrics. To address this need, we introduced a nov...
