Project title: “3D forest mapping and inventory using terrestrial/aerial LiDAR data and satellite images”

The object of the project is the development and application of advanced technologies for the mapping and inventory of forest areas. In particular, the project includes the collection and analysis of data from terrestrial and aerial LiDAR systems as well as the use of high-resolution satellite images of forested areas.

These data will be used to extract structural features at tree and stand level, classify forest species and produce 3D maps of forest areas.

A web application will be created to display and manage the 3D data. The purpose of the research project is to achieve a methodology for the detailed and systematic inventory of forest areas, which will contribute to the sustainable
their management and protection.
