Scientific Summary No. 75, 2010

Laser scanning for forest applications is a young and promising research topic. The 10th international conference on LiDAR applications for assessing forest ecosystems – SilviLaser – discussed latest findings and scientific developments.

The 10th international conference on LiDAR applications for assessing forest ecosystems – SilviLaser – was held in Freiburg, Germany. From 14-17 September, 2010. The conference was an excellent chance for scientists and practitioners to share their experiences on LiDAR. In addition to the six key speeches, the session themes were:
Forest and Ecological Applications for Terrestrial Laser Scanning; Satellite Based LiDAR Systems and Data for Forest and Environmental Applications; Wood Quality Assessment with Laser; Airborne Laserscanner (ALS) - Single Tree Based Inventories; ALS - Ecological and Landscape Inventories; ALS - Area Based Inventories; ALS - Biomass and Forest Fuel Assessment, and Multisensoral Applications with LiDAR Data.
