Abstract: A tree crown extraction method based on UAV multi-source remote sensing includes: obtaining a visible light image and LIDAR point clouds, taking a digital orthophoto map (DOM) and the LIDAR point clouds as data sources, using a method of watershed segmentation and object-oriented multi-scale segmentation to extract single tree crown information under different canopy densities. The object-oriented multi-scale segmentation method is used to extract crown and non-crown areas, and a tree crown distribution range is extracted with the crown area as a mask; a preliminary segmentation result of single tree crown is obtained by the watershed segmentation method based on a canopy height model; a brightness value of DOM is taken as a feature, the crown area of the DOM is performed secondary segmentation based on a crown boundary to obtain an optimized single tree crown boundary information, which greatly increases the accuracy of remote sensing tree crown extraction.
