Development and evaluation of a forest mapping solution based on multispectral laser scanning

DroneXperts是将无人机集成到民用应用方面的先驱企业，例如提供专业和认证的培训，提供无人机地图服务，以及提供与无人机相关的传感器和产品。在这方面，DroneXperts对为森林和林地调查提供准确而经济高效的激光扫描解决方案非常感兴趣。对个别树木进行地理定位并确定它们的特征，并确定森林下层，在许多林业部门具有重要的价值。使用主动、多回波、多光谱机载测距系统，这些任务可以大大简化。在这个项目中，CGQ将评估一架无人机上的多光谱激光雷达集成系统，该无人机具有倾斜的视角，用于绘制森林顶冠和林下的3D地图。该项目将开发的解决方案将使该公司能够解决向林业部门提供高效和具有成本效益的服务的问题。该解决方案在当前最先进的技术水平中是独一无二的，因为它集成了多光谱图像、测距和可视化人工智能，用于林业应用。

DroneXperts is a pioneer enterprise in integrating drones in civil applications, e.g. providing specialized andcertified training, delivering drone-mapping services, and offering drone-related sensors and products. Withthis regard, DroneXperts is strongly interested in providing accurate yet cost-efficient laser-scanning solutionsfor forest and woodland inventory. Geo-localizing individual trees and characterizing them, and identifying theforest understory have great values in many forestry sectors. Using an active, multi-return, multispectralairborne ranging system, these tasks can be significantly simplified. In this project, CGQ will evaluate amulti-spectral, LiDAR integrated system onboard a drone with an oblique viewpoint for 3D mapping of forests'top canopy and understory. The solutions that will be developed in this project will allow the company to solveits problem regarding providing efficient and cost-effective service to the forestry sector. This solution isunique in the current state-of-the-art in the sense that it integrates multispectral imagery, ranging, and visualartificial intelligence for forestry applications.
