Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was introduced for basic forest measurements, such as tree
height and diameter, in the early 2000s. Recent advances in sensor and algorithm …

Changing climates are altering the structural and functional components of forest
ecosystems at an unprecedented rate. Simultaneously, we are seeing a diversification of …

Remote sensing-based forest investigation and monitoring have become more affordable
and applicable in the past few decades. The current bottleneck limiting practical use of the …

Plant phenomics is a new avenue for linking plant genomics and environmental studies,
thereby improving plant breeding and management. Remote sensing techniques have …

In this work, we compared six emerging mobile laser scanning (MLS) technologies for field
reference data collection at the individual tree level in boreal forest conditions. The systems …

Surveying and robotic technologies are converging, offering great potential for robotic-
assisted data collection and support for labour intensive surveying activities. From a forest …

Real-time 3-D map** of large-scale global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-denied
environments plays an important role in forest inventory management, disaster emergency …

The advent of lidar has revolutionized the way we observe and measure vegetation structure
from the ground and from above and represents a major advance toward the quantification …

Monitoring the structure of forest stands is of high importance for forest managers to help
them in maintaining ecosystem services. For that purpose, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles …

Tree species characterise biodiversity, health, economic potential, and resilience of an
ecosystem, for example. Tree species classification based on remote sensing data …
