The algorithm employs a K-D tree to construct the spatial position information of the 3D point cloud, deriving a linear model that is the guidance information based on both the original and filtered point cloud data. The parameters of the linear model are determined by minimizing the cost function using an optimization strategy, and a guidance point cloud filter is subsequently constructed based on these parameters. The results demonstrate that, comparing the diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height before and after filtering with the measured true values, the accuracy of SLAM mapping is significantly improved after filtering. The Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of DBH before and after filtering are 2.20 cm and 1.16 cm; the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values are 4.78 cm and 1.40 cm; and the relative RMSE values are 29.30% and 8.59%. For tree height, the MAE before and after filtering are 0.76 m and 0.40 m; the RMSE values are 1.01 m and 0.50 m; the relative RMSE values are 7.33% and 3.65%. The experimental results validate that the proposed adaptive point cloud filtering method based on guided information is an effective point cloud preprocessing method for enhancing the accuracy of SLAM mapping in forested areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16152714","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,24]],"date-time":"2024-07-24T14:55:47Z","timestamp":1721832947000},"page":"2714","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Novel Point Cloud Adaptive Filtering Algorithm for LiDAR SLAM in Forest Environments Based on Guidance Information"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2214-0946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuhang","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Forest Operations and Environment, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanqiu","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Forest Operations and Environment, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5504-3341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dejun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Forest Operations and Environment, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hangyu","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Forest Operations and Environment, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119908","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclepro.2019.119908","article-title":"Trends in Global Research in Forest Carbon Sequestration: A Bibliometric Analysis","volume":"252","author":"Huang","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
