This Individual-labelled trees dataset is a part of the SiDroForest data collection (https://www.pangaea.de/?q=keyword%3A%22SiDroForest%22) and contains spatial data in the form of points and polygons of 872 trees and shrubs that were recorded in Siberia during a 2-month fieldwork expedition in 2018 by the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Germany (Kruse et al., 2019). During the fieldwork, 15 m radius vegetation surveys were performed during which information such as height, species, crown diameter were recorded for individual trees. In addition, the vegetation plots were covered by 50*50-meter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flights and Red Green Blue (RGB) photographs were taken with a consumer grade DJI Phantom 4 quadcopter (Brieger et al. 2019). From these UAV images, orthoimages were constructed with Agisoft PhotoScan Professional (Agisoft, 2018) using using Structure-from- Motion/Multi-view Stereo (SfM-MVS) techniques. (Agisoft manual 2019). Orthophotos are ...
