Due to the extremely high scanning rates the VUX®-1UAV provides an outstanding highdensity pointcloud, which makes it ideal for forestry applications. The excellent vegetation penetration rate results in a high number of ground returns that can be used to generate very detailed terrain models. The sample to the left depicts points classified as ground coloured by reflectance. GROWTH MONITORING & TREE HEIGHT MODEL g l rin e ito od on m m ht th eig ow h gr tree & All points classified as vegetation can be coloured by relative height above ground. This results in a relative estimation model of the...

Precision Agriculture Applications ADVANTAGES OF LASER SCANNING IN VEGETATION MONITORING • ontinuous crop monitoring c during growth period • observation of irregularities in plant growth • detection of hail damage • analysis of terrain changes • yield estimation • observation of nutrient over- or undersupply • ongterm regular observation of growth l characteristics for geological evalution and classification By contrast to photogrammetry, which is limited to determining Digital Surface Models (DSM), the technique of laser scanning enables the user to capture data suitable for the generation...
