FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to create detailed 3D models of terrain and vegetation. In forestry, it helps measure tree height, canopy width, and trunk volume, map terrain features, and monitor forest health, enabling precise planning and resource allocation.
LiDAR uses high-frequency laser pulses that can pass through small gaps in forest canopies. This allows it to capture data about both the vegetation above and the ground beneath, providing accurate terrain and vegetation mapping even in dense forests.
LiDAR is invaluable for various forestry tasks, including harvest planning, slope analysis, road design, inventory management, and environmental monitoring. It helps optimize machinery use, improve safety, and enhance sustainability efforts.
Yes, LiDAR provides detailed insights that reduce the need for extensive ground surveys, saving time and labor. It improves planning accuracy, minimizes resource wastage, and prevents costly errors in operations like road building and harvest allocation.
LiDAR delivers highly accurate measurements by capturing tree height, trunk diameter, and canopy structure. When combined with statistical models, it provides reliable estimates of biomass and timber volume, supporting precise inventory and resource management.
