Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for heritage tree detection / Khalilah Hassan, Siti Norlizaiha Harun and Siti Rasidah Md Sakip

This paper explores the potentials of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as a satisfying alternative tool to detect potential heritage trees by assessing the tree characteristic - the crown spread. Tree crown spread is an essential variable in tree assessment but is typically costly and time-consuming to...
