Three-dimensional forest model is important to forest ecosystem management. Traditional ground investigation requires vast amount of manpower, resources, costs, and time. Hence, it is difficult to promptly obtain accurate information by using ground investigation. Nowadays, Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) technology provides high density 3-D point clouds. It can rapidly obtain 3-D information of forest structure. On the other hand, the high resolution images provide plentiful spectral information of forest coverage.
