increasingly complex set of economic, environmental, and social policy objectives …

To secure uninterrupted distribution of electricity, effective monitoring and maintenance of
power lines are needed. This literature review article aims to give a wide overview of the …

The estimation of single tree and complete stand information is one of the central tasks of
forest inventory. In recent years, automatic algorithms have been successfully developed for …

The application of static terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in forest inventories is becoming
more effective. Nevertheless, the occlusion effect is still limiting the processing efficiency to …

Monitoring the structure of forest stands is of high importance for forest managers to help
them in maintaining ecosystem services. For that purpose, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles …

Surveying and robotic technologies are converging, offering great potential for robotic-
assisted data collection and support for labour intensive surveying activities. From a forest …

The use of new and modern sensors in forest inventory has become increasingly efficient.
Nevertheless, the majority of forest inventory data are still collected manually, as part of field …

Remote sensing-based forest investigation and monitoring have become more affordable
and applicable in the past few decades. The current bottleneck limiting practical use of the …

Forest inventories rely on field plots, the measurement of which is costly and time consuming
by manual means. Thus, there is a need to automate plot-level field data collection. Mobile …

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology has been widely used in forestry surveys
in the form of airborne laser scanning (ALS), terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), and mobile …
