Conventionally, multispectral or hyperspectral remote sensing images are applied to identify species. However, spectral profiles of trees on images are easily affected by surroundings and illuminations, resulting in urban trees of different species possibly having similar spectral features. The handheld laser scanning (HLS) technique can capture 3D structural information of trees and be confirmed to be effective in reducing the problem of spectral similarity through tree structural properties (TSP). TSP usually varies in different leaf conditions, especially TSP of tropical tree species. In this study, we investigated the effects of leaves on urban tropical tree species identification using HLS. A total of 89 metrics that characterized the TSP were evaluated, including 19 branches, 12 stems, 45 crowns, and 13 entire tree metrics. All metrics were derived under different leaf conditions. The correlation and importance of these metrics were further evaluated. Our results demonstrated that crown metrics perform the most important role in urban species identification in leaf-on and leaf-off conditions and that the combination of metrics derived in different leaf conditions can improve the identification accuracy. Furthermore, we discovered 9 robust metrics that perform well in all leaf conditions, including 3 crowns, 2 branches, 2 stems, and 2 entire tree metrics. These metrics give a deep understanding of numerous structural properties and provide a significant reference for the relevant structure-based classification of other tropical species. This study also illustrated that HLS could help to overcome the spectrum-related limitations and improve the efficiency of species identification and sustainable forest management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15112826","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,30]],"date-time":"2023-05-30T02:04:21Z","timestamp":1685412261000},"page":"2826","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Exploring Influences of Leaves on Urban Species Identification Using Handheld Laser Scanning Point Cloud: A Case Study in Hong Kong"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Meilian","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6439-6775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Man Sing","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China"},{"name":"Research Institute of Land and Space, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Field, C.B., and Barros, V.R.
