Precision Forestry : A Revolution through Remote Sensing Technology

Introduction   Precision forestry is a method in which the characteristics of forests, treatments, biodiversity preservation, and recreational opportunities can be accurately determined, at the forest stand, plot, or individual tree level. Precision forestry requires a plethora of information and data which needs to be accurate, spatially detailed, up to date, and must characterize the… Continue reading Precision Forestry : A Revolution through Remote Sensing Technology

LiDAR for Tree Crown Mapping

TREE CROWN MAPPING USING LiDAR    Importance of Tree Surveying We are well aware of the fact that trees are the integral part of our eco system as well as our flora and fauna. Mapping forest reserves and vegetation is critical to economic development and to understanding our environment; it provides information about the age… Continue reading LiDAR for Tree Crown Mapping

Significance of Spectral Indexes in Accurate Vegetation Analysis

Many sensors carried aboard satellites measure red and near-infrared light waves reflected by land surfaces. Using mathematical formulas (algorithms), one can transform raw satellite data about these light waves into vegetation indices. A vegetation index is an indicator that describes the greenness i.e. the relative density and health of vegetation, for each pixel in a… Continue reading Significance of Spectral Indexes in Accurate Vegetation Analysis
