Merkle trees, also known as hash trees or binary hash trees, are tree-like data structures used in computer science. They are named after their inventor, Ralph Merkle, who proposed the concept in 1979 ...

Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by laser-scanning technologies. Doing the same with forest data has proven far more ...
