Accurate extraction of phenotypic data is a prerequisite for comprehensive forest phenotyping in order to improve the growth and development of forest plantations. Combined with the assessments of genetic characteristics, forest phenotyping will help to accelerate the breeding process, improve stress resistance and enhance the quality of the planted forest. In this study, we disposed our study in Eucalyptus trials within the Gaofeng forest farm (a typical Eucalyptus plantation site in southern China) for a high-throughput phenotypic traits extraction and genetic characteristics analysis based on high-density point clouds (acquired by a UAV-borne LiDAR sensor) and high-resolution RGB images (acquired by a UAV-borne camera), aiming at developing a high-resolution and high-throughput UAV-based phenotyping approach for tree breeding. First, we compared the effect of CHM-based Marker-Controlled Watershed Segmentation (MWS) and Point Cloud-based Cluster Segmentation (PCS) for extracting individual trees; Then, the phenotypic traits (i.e., tree height, diameter at breast height, crown width), the structural metrics (n = 19) and spectral indices (n = 9) of individual trees were extracted and assessed; Finally, a genetic characteristics analysis was carried out based on the above results, and we compared the differences between high-throughput phenotyping by UAV-based data and on manual measurements. Results showed that: in the relatively low stem density site of the trial (760 n\/ha), the overall accuracy of MWS and PCS was similar, while in the higher stem density sites (982 n\/ha, 1239 n\/ha), the overall accuracy of MWS (F(2) = 0.93, F(3) = 0.86) was higher than PCS (F(2) = 0.84, F(3) = 0.74); With the increase of stem density, the difference between the overall accuracy of MWS and PCS gradually expanded. Both UAV\u2013LiDAR extracted phenotypic traits and manual measurements were significantly different across the Eucalyptus clones (P &lt; 0.05), as were most of the structural metrics (47\/57) and spectral indices (26\/27), revealing the genetic divergence between the clones. The rank of clones demonstrated that the pure clones (of E. urophylla), the hybrid clones (of E. urophylla as the female parent) and the hybrid clones (of E. wetarensis and E. grandis) have a higher fineness of growth. This study proved that UAV-based fine-resolution remote sensing could be an efficient, accurate and precise technology in phenotyping (used in genetic analysis) for tree breeding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14030765","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]],"date-time":"2022-02-07T20:36:42Z","timestamp":1644266202000},"page":"765","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Phenotypic Traits Extraction and Genetic Characteristics Assessment of Eucalyptus Trials Based on UAV-Borne LiDAR and RGB Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lihua","family":"Liao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Co-Innovation Center for the Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5195-0477","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lin","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Co-Innovation Center for the Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}]},{"given":"Yaojian","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Eucalypt Research Centre, Zhanjiang 524022, China"}]},{"given":"Jianzhong","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Eucalypt Research Centre, Zhanjiang 524022, China"}]},{"given":"Guibin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Co-Innovation Center for the Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"580","article-title":"Plant phenomics: History, present status and challenges","volume":"41","author":"Zhou","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
