Monitoring the forest growth and caused damage of the forest

An airborne LiDAR point cloud of the forest can be used to estimate the characteristics of the forest. With scanning systems featuring a smaller laser beam footprint, full waveform capabilities, and possibly additional sensors for producing supportive data (for example true-color or infrared images) even more information can be determined.

The derived data can be used for monitoring the forest growth, damage caused by storms or fires, harvesting of trees, and for estimating the financial value of the trees when harvested. Specific information supports the management of the forest in a way that improves the wood quality, reduces waste, increases profits, and maintains the quality of the environment. The information about canopy density and biomass of a forest further assist the estimation of forest fire spreading and thus, support the work of fire fighters and evacuation tasks.

Urban Area Tree Inventory

Parks are together with street trees are an important public resource for all residents of the city. The urban forest and individual trees are therefore an important natural resource providing many benefits in form of improved air quality, reduced storm water runoff, and increased residential property values. A tree inventory is an important tool in managing and planning urban tree populations.

Airborne and mobile data can be used to create the basis for tree inventory providing XYZ locations and width and height information as the result of fully automated process. Using additional sensor data even more information can be extracted.

Applications

Average height of trees | Density of the canopy | Amount of biomass | Stand volume and the coverage of the vegetation | Defining height, crown diameter, and species of individual trees | Corridor analysis in Urban environments | Park tree inventory
