Digital Forestry: Terrestrial Remote Sensing

Brady Hardiman, assistant professor of forestry and natural resources; Guofan Shao, professor of forestry and natural resources; and Ayman Habib, professor of civil engineering, all of Purdue University, presented as part of the Data Driven Agriculture webinar series.

In the webinar, Hardiman, Shao and Habib share how to use state-of-the-art terrestrial LiDAR, photogrammetry, and integrated systems to conduct high-resolution in-situ remote sensing and related feature extractions. This work is part of Purdue’s Integrated Digital Forestry Initiative (iDiF) which is working towards developing platforms and strategies that leverage digital technology to measure, monitor and manage forests to maximize social, economic and ecological benefits.
