Latvian Forest Scanning Application

Latvian Forest Scanning Application

The Latvian Forest Scanning Application is a project aimed at extracting and classifying every tree with a diameter greater than 15 centimeters along the border between Latvia and Belarus. The project uses the LiBackpack DGC50, which integrates a horizontal and vertical dual laser sensors, a GNSS antenna module, and a panoramic color camera to scan the forest area and obtain point cloud data. The obtained data is then processed using LiFuser-BP and LiDAR360 software to extract seed points, calculate tree parameters, and classify tree species. The article provides details about the project plan···

Forestry Applications

If you are interested in learning more about the applications above, take a few minutes to read the following article, which explains how GreenValley International (GVI) products are applied to meet standard forest inventory and management objectives.Just a few years ago, people were only able to use remote sensing imagery and photogrammetric data products to determine the stocking level of a forested area. Information from these sources is combined within the field measurements collected by hand to answer the questions stated at the beginning of this article. However, now with the recent adva···

Applications

Stock CalculationStock Calculation
Stock CalculationForest stock is one of the important indicators to measure the quantity of forest, which can directly reflect the quantity and quality of forest resources. It has become an urgent need to obtain the information of forest stock accurately.
Biomass CalculationBiomass Calculation
Biomass CalculationBiomass is an important variable to evaluate the carbon sequestration and carbon balance capacity of forest ecosystems. Accurate calculation of forest biomass is important to study the carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. In LiDAR360, the biomass parameters we provided include surface biomass (AGB), underground biomass (UGB), stock volume (V), enrichment factor (BCF), root-shoot ratio (RSR).
Spatial 3D Green Quantity CalculationSpatial 3D Green Quantity Calculation
Spatial 3D Green Quantity CalculationSpatial 3D Green Quantity Calculation is an index to evaluate the difference of spatial structure and ecological function of vegetation, which can accurately reflect the change of urban green landscape in alleviating heat island effect, purifying atmosphere, soil and water conservation, biodiversity and so on.
Species IdentificationSpecies Identification
Species IdentificationThe ground-based forestry module of LiDAR360 includes the tree species identification function, which supports the matching of single tree point cloud data, panoramic images and corresponding seed point data. Combined with manual recognition, tree species identification can be achieved through attribute table recording.
Carbon Reserves CalculationCarbon Reserves Calculation
Carbon Reserves CalculationVegetation carbon storage is an important parameter to reflect its carbon sink capacity, and its dynamic change is a key index to measure the carbon sink capacity of vegetation.
