Project Description |

|
|
Project Description: |
The
overall objective is to develop; test and apply new low-cost technologies using
3D terrain reconstruction with multiple ranging lasers and multispectral imagery to detect carbon changes in mixed
hardwood forests. This effort
collaborates with ongoing research in ecosystem surveys and computer science
to develop new techniques of canopy crown detection and automated delineation
that currently do not exist; but are crucial in reducing costs in monitoring
and estimating standing biomass in forests while maintaining known levels of
precision. |
