Key Idea: Do not harvest more than the timber volume that grows back.

Sustainable Usage of the Forest

We need a precise inventory of the forest.

4) Estimate the timber volume by using the yield tables

The yield tables are

a characteristic map

for forestry units.

6) Take the collected data to the office.

This has to be repeated every

seven years for each forestry

unit.Im

Basal Area

The basal area is a measure for the density of a forestry unit.

It is associated with the yield factor.

There is a correlation between the yield factor and a density in

the LIDAR data.

Basal Area

But… Density in the LIDAR data depends on the

flight and scanner parameters!

Collection of ground truth and remote sensing data are not synchronous.

Units may be fully stocked in one and empty in the other dataset.

Conclusions

• From testareas towards „real-world data“

• Data collection on the same quality level than the traditional surveyor, but faster

• No need to post process collected data in the office

• Available for Forest Information Systems as well as for online Solutions
