If you are interested in finding the answers to the question above, take should a few minutes to read the following article which explains how GreenValley International (GVI) products can be applied to meet common forest inventory and management objectives.

Just a few years ago, people were only able to use remote sensing imagery and photogrammetric data products to determine the stocking level of a forested area. Information from these sources were combined with the field measurements collected by hand in order to answer the questions stated at the beginning of this article. But nowadays, with the recent advancement of LiDAR technologies, collecting forest inventory data has become easier than ever. LiDAR, as a high-accuracy detection instrument, can easily acquire measurements needed to produce three-dimensional point cloud models of forests with centimeter-levels of accuracy. Critical information can be extracted directly from these LiDAR point clouds models or calculated when coupled with other sources of forest inventory data.

GVI’s turnkey solutions for forest industries include hardware and software products that make LiDAR data collection, processing, and analysis possible
