Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and multispectral photography. While radar and LiDAR penetrate canopies to reveal ...

The Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Image Generation (DIRSIG) software can generate geometrically and radiometrically accurate light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data, producing ground 3D ...

Scientists use remotely sensed data from satellites to map and analyze habitat extent, vegetation health, land use change, and plant species distributions at various scales. Open-source data sets, ...

Commonwealth Edison Co. has been conducting circuit-level, four-year, cycle-based vegetation management for more than 18 years. During this time, the utility has seen an overall downward trend in ...

LiDAR remote sensing has emerged as a powerful tool for capturing detailed terrain features and three-dimensional vegetation structures. In this figure, we focus on the Mississippi Delta region in the ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NASA has announced it will fund a three-year collaborative project to investigate how the chemical properties of leaves and tree canopy structures affect remote ...

They found that sensing depth shifts across growth stages, with middle leaves contributing most to reflectance and near-infrared signals most sensitive to planting density. The team also developed a ...

The DIRS Laboratory Fiscal Year 2024–2025 annual report is now available for review. The Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing (DIRS) Laboratory serves as a focal point for remote sensing research and ...

Productivity and stability of forest ecosystems strongly depend on the functional diversity of plant communities. Researchers have developed a new method to measure and map functional diversity of ...

Deforestation and forest degradation are both significant conservation issues. But charities around the world are starting to use advanced technologies, such as AI and remote sensing, to get on top of ...
