Spatial predictions of forest variables are required for supporting modern national and sub-
national forest planning strategies, especially in the framework of a climate change scenario …

This paper focuses on the use of models for increasing the precision of estimators in large-
area forest surveys. It is motivated by the increasing availability of remotely sensed data …

The use of image-based three-dimensional data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has
proven effective for forest inventories. However, limitations in the range of UAV operations …

Airborne laser scanning is today considered the most accurate remote sensing method for
forest inventory. The main advantage of laser scanning is the three-dimensional data. Three …

Forest inventory attributes are an important source of information for a variety of strategic
and tactical forest management purposes. However, it is not possible or feasible for field …

The study compares the accuracy of timber volume prediction based on four different three-
dimensional remote sensing data sets in one study area in southern Norway: airborne laser …
