A healthy forest is a forest with high biodiversity. Biodiversity is highest if trees are allowed to become old and die. In a recent article published in Geo-Spatial Information Science, Marco Heurich and colleagues present a method to classify trees depending on their decay status. They combined airborne laser scanning with color infrared images and used different machine learning techniques. Read more about the promising results in the original article.
Classifying decaying trees
Inn-professor Marco Heurich and colleagues have developed a method to measure the decay of trees. This is important, because it can help us to monitor the health of forests.
