Published Test Data

The test data is provided in data as 1) single GeoJSON files and as ZIP archive, and 2) also as serialized and zipped pytreedb database dump files that can be directly imported and used to start the API server.

1) SYSSIFOSS-Data

We provide metadata (incl. links to point clouds) of 1481 trees that have been captured with airborne (ALS), UAV-borne (ULS) and terrestrial (TLS) laser scanning as well as field inventory data. This data was acquired and processed as part of the DFG project syssifoss and the trees are located in the forests of Bretten and Karlsruhe (Germany). Please check our data publication for full details:

The data can be downloaded from PANGAEA: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.942856

For 11 trees, this dataset was extended by labelled versions of the TLS point clouds which have pointwise annotations for the semantic classes leaf and wood. The point clouds can be filtered using the "Labels" filter and are also available from heiDATA.

2) Landmark trees in Heidelberg, Germany

Over time, we additionally added two landmark trees scanned in Heidelberg, Germany:

3) LiPheStream catalogue

LiPheStream is the first external dataset that we added to pytreedb. LiPheStream is a time series tree dataset from a permanent laser scanning (PLS) system in Finland.
