    Posted on March 06th, 2015 by Jan

This is data firstly published in April 2014.
Adds 24 more cherry trees from an agro forestry side to the data set. Non-ground truthed. The tree clouds have been used for analysis of cloud to model distance.
The clouds are considered to be of high quality, only minor noise, occlusion and wind occurrence. Clouds do intersect though with each other, manual removal of other crowns suggested.
