Workflow for deriving QSMs from TLS data. The diagram shows the workflow for deriving QSMs starting from the TLS data collection. The two graphics on the left display the scan setup and overlapping tree crowns as seen from above. The trees are coloured green for better visualisation, although the trees were scanned during winter dormancy. The graphic on the right demonstrates how the best parameter set is chosen based on distances between points and fitted cylinders
