RIEGL Ultimate LiDAR in Forestry

Learn how RIEGL products, such as the VQ-1560i-DW Airborne Laser Scanning System or the VZ-400i Terrestrial Laser Scanner, along with UAV Systems are changing the speed and efficiency of Forestry Management and gaining the appreciation of scientists.

Forests are critical to the environment's health. Their ability to regulate climate and water resources, carry out ecological functions and provide habitat for plants, animals, and human beings makes them the backbone of biodiversity. But unfortunately, these ecological primers are rapidly disappearing due to the challenges of the 21 st century climate change and global warming. Deforestation is not only considered as one of the leading causes of global threats, but these pressures in return also impact the existing conditions of forested areas.

For tracking the changes in climate and better accessing of forest structure, disturbance, management, and resources, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is identified as an indispensable tool. The laser scan data does not only save time but also aids in post­processing. LiDAR is a breakthrough remote sensing technique that gains appreciation from scientists around the globe due to its unprecedented accuracy. lt has immensely modified digitization in multiple fields of applications due to high accuracy and meaningful data acquisition of large areas.
