Abstract In" low-cost" solutions, ensuring economic accessibility and democratizing the
availability of emerging technologies stand as pivotal considerations. This study undertakes …

Topographic and geomorphological surveys of coastal areas usually require the aerial
map** of long and narrow sections of littoral. The georeferencing of photogrammetric …

Lately, affordable unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-lidar systems have started to appear on
the market, highlighting the need for methods facilitating proper verification of their accuracy …

Increased focus on restoring forest structural variation and spatial pattern in dry conifer
forests has led to greater emphasis on forest monitoring strategies that can be summarized …

Agricultural terraced landscapes, which are important historical heritage sites (eg, UNESCO
or Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) sites) are under threat from …

The present study addresses the tree counting of a Eucalyptus plantation, the most widely
planted hardwood in the world. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) light detection and ranging …

Lidar remote sensing has been used to survey stream channel and floodplain topography
for decades. However, traditional platforms, such as aerial laser scanning (ALS) from an …

This study was aimed at integrating surveys from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and high-
precision scanning performed by a drone (ULS) for a tower structure. This will allow a …

Forests offer significant climate mitigation benefits, but existing emissions reduction
assessment methodologies in forest-based mitigation activities are not scalable, which limits …

Objectives We test the absolute positional accuracy of point clouds produced using UAS
