Aerial photography has long been an important part of forest inventory and management planning. With SmartPlanes personal aerial mapping system, you can get the most up-to-date photos over a forest holding directly on-site.
A production forest area of 5 square kilometres was mapped by the Swedish Forest Agency on behalf of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences for a scientific research project. The area was flown in 11 sorties with a high degree of overlap between flight blocks (each flight mapped approx. on square km). Georeferenced photo mosaics [More>>]
The PAMS system is particularly useful for time-critical mapping of small areas, especially in remote locations. On this site there was a controlled experiment for testing an airborne radar sensor for mapping stormfelled trees. the researchers wanted to test the effect of different orientations of windfelled trees on the sensor response. By controlled experiment, I [More>>]
On behalf of the Swedish Forest Agency, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences documented several scientific test sites with spruce forests damaged by wind-throw and secondary insect attacks (bark beetle). Some of the areas were mapped with a CIR-modified camera. The documentation was repeated three times during the vegetation season to monitor the progress and [More>>]
