¶ Finnish project about creating a forest digital twin using laser scanning and aerial photography
Description: In the project, more accurate laser scanning and aerial photography data will be acquired from
two different test areas, which are also production areas. That will allow the comparison of the
current forest interpretation and to utilize the same field sample plot data measured in
production. The next step in the inventory of forests, even in large areas, is individual tree
detection method. In addition to more precise forest variables, this enables interpretation of the
forest structure related to diversity and uneven aged silviculture (forest layers and spatial pattern
of trees). Interpretation of various special trees could be possible, such as dead or decaying trees,
possible severe insects damage or large deciduous trees. In the project, carbon calculation is also tested and defined for the forest data production. In addition, the forest site classes interpretation method will be tested based on laser scanning data from two different time periods.
