Zusammenfassung:Virtual laser scanning (VLS), the simulation of laser scanning in a computer environment, is as a useful tool for field campaign planning, acquisition optimisation, and development and sensitivity analyses of algorithms in various disciplines including forestry research. One key to meaningful VLS is a suitable 3D representation of the object of interest. For VLS of forests, the way trees are constructed influences both the performance and the realism of the simulations. In this contribution, we analyse how well VLS can reproduce scans of individual trees in a forest. Specifically, we examine how different voxel sizes used to create the virtual forest affect point cloud metrics (e.g. height percentiles) and tree metrics (e.g. tree height and crown base height) derived from simulated point clouds. The level of detail in the voxelisation is dependent on the voxel size, which usually influences the number of voxel cells of the model. A smaller voxel size (i.e., more voxels) increases the computational cost of laser scanning simulations but allows for more detail. We present a method that decouples voxel grid resolution from final voxel cube size by scaling voxels to smaller cubes, whose surface is proportional to estimated normalised local plant area density. Voxel models are created from terrestrial laser scanning point clouds and then virtually scanned in one airborne and one UAV-borne simulation scenario.
