Tree height is one of the key parameters for estimating forest aboveground biomass (AGB). Traditionally, the tree height is measured by hypsometers, which are widely used to validate terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) and Airborne LiDAR (ALS). However, the measurements from hypsometers are subject to h...
