Solution Design Specialist Forsite Consultants Ltd, New Brunswick, Canada
The Lyme Timber Company wanted to validate a ground-based inventory for a 100,000-acre property and requested Forsite’s LiDAR-based individual tree inventory (ITI) as an alternative with a quick turn-around (3-months). The result compared against harvest scaled data showed that the ITI was 24.3% more accurate than the ground-based approach.
Learning Objectives:
Describe how individual tree inventories can improve accuracy for scaled volume without setting foot on the ground.
How it is possible to get a highly detailed inventory of a industrial scale property in a short turn-around period.
Understand how a streamlined technology process can aid in streamlining boots on the ground fieldwork.
