Kinect v2 sensor-based mobile terrestrial laser scanner for agricultural outdoor applications

Mobile terrestrial laser scanners (MTLS), based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors, are used worldwide in agricultural applications. MTLS are applied to characterize the geometry and the structure of plants and crops for technical and scientific purposes. Although MTLS exhibit outstandin...
