The experts from the TreeDigitalTwins project shared its lessons at the Practice Day (“Praxistag LiDAR”) organised by the Landeskompetenzzentrum Forst Eberswalde (LFE). The event on September,18, aimed to provide interested forestry practitioners and potential users insights about LiDAR technology and its use in the forest sector.
LiDAR technology was first developed in the 1960s as part of research into terrain surface detection for the military.
military applications. Today, LiDAR technology has moved from visualising an environment or surface by measuring light distances to applications in the aerospace industry, in various areas of environmental sensing and for use in autonomous driving. Multiple sectors benefits from applying the technology including engineering, resource managemgent, agriculture, emergency and disaster management to name a few.



LiDAR applications in forestry are also on the increase! The prospect of analysing vegetation data area-wide is developing at a rapid pace and opens up new applications: in digital forest inventory, biomass monitoring and ‘precision’ forestry.
At the at the Practice Day Stefan Reder, Kevin Beiler and Jan-Peter Mund presented their use cases from TreeDigitalTwins. Ramazan BülBül share lesson from ADAPT-Wald-Holz. See their presentation:
