Now a day’s, UAV point cloud datasets have been widely used in characterizing vegetation structure where the full potential of the photogrammetric data has not been utilized. Most of the requirements are converted dense point cloud information into Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Digital Terrain Model (DTM), DSM, or CSM (raster versions of point cloud datasets) because working with pure LiDAR-like datasets is challenging, and algorithms and hardware that can handle such massive datasets are limited.

In general UAV point cloud is used for Measuring canopy Height, Tree Height, Tree Crown Diameter analysis, to detect individual trees and specially cases for the development of annual crops in agricultural sectors.
