Individual tree detection algorithms (ITD) are used to obtain accurate information about trees. Following the process of individual tree detection, it is possible to use additional processing tools to determine tree parameters such as tree height, crown base height, crown volume, or stem volume. However, many of the methods developed so far have focused on parameterising the algorithms based on the study area, height structure or tree species analysed. Applying the parameters of the method can be challenging in areas with dense and heterogeneous forests with a diverse stand structure. Therefore, this work aimed to develop a method to correct the results of ITD algorithms to identify individual trees more reliably, taking into account different ITD methods based on the Canopy Height Model. In the present study, we proposed a three-step approach to correct segmentation errors. In the first step, erroneous (under- and over-segmentation errors) and correct segments were classified. After classification, the second step was to refine the under-segmentation errors. The final step was to merge segments from the over-segmentation class with correct segments based on the specified conditions. The study was conducted in one of the most complex and diverse forest communities in Europe, making tree identification a major challenge. The accuracy of the segmentation improvements varied depending on the method applied and tree species group examined. Thus, based on the results, the paper advocates for the correction method due to its efficiency in mixed forest stands. Therefore, the present study offers a possible solution to reduce segmentation errors by considering different forest types and different CHM-based ITD methods for identifying individual trees.
