3D-tools is a set of tools for analysing pointclouds of a forest.

main.py can be used by developers, but for general use you can instead pip install forestutils, which makes the forestutils command available from your terminal.

Features:

• Detect, map, and extract trees from the full pointcloud
• Calculate location, height, canopy area, and colour of each tree
• Losslessly reduce pointcloud size by discarding ground points

It is written in pure Python (3.4+), available under the GPL3 license, and can analyse multi-gigabyte datasets in surprisingly little memory.

• documentation
• processed pointclouds
• maps (from output)
• source code
• forestutils package on PyPi
