The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together innovative developments and applications of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), understood in a broad sense. Thus, although most contributions mainly involve the use of laser-based systems, other alternative technologies that also allow for obtaining 3D point clouds for the measurement and the 3D characterization of terrestrial targets, such as photogrammetry, are also considered. The 15 published contributions are mainly focused on the applications of TLS to the following three topics: TLS performance and point cloud processing, applications to civil engineering, and applications to plant characterization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19204569","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,21]],"date-time":"2019-10-21T11:37:55Z","timestamp":1571657875000},"page":"4569","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Special Issue on \u201cTerrestrial Laser Scanning\u201d: Editors\u2019 Notes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6746-2830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joan R.","family":"Rosell-Polo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Group in AgroICT &amp; Precision Agriculture, Department of Agricultural and Forest Engineering, Universitat de Lleida\u2014AGROTECNIO Center, Av.
