Using LiDAR for Forestry.
Your way to thorough sustainable forestry.
Modern forest management starts with obtaining precise data.
LiDAR offers exceptional accuracy and is becoming the preferred technique for forestry management. Aerial LiDAR surveying generates imagery data that can result in 3D mapping and can penetrate vegetation.

Read how our customer used a YellowScan LiDAR system to transform urban tree management in Belgium, offering fast, accurate data collection compared to traditional methods.
This article compares two popular technologies for creating 3D models and maps: photogrammetry and LiDAR. The focus lies on key differences between both: how they work, the different outputs created for each, and popular use cases. The article finishes with a discussion of why investing in LiDAR can be a better choice, despite higher costs.
This article explains what LiDAR point clouds are and how they are used for 3D mapping applications. Learn the basics of LiDAR point clouds!
LiDAR scanners are used for capturing 3D point clouds. But how do they work? This and more are explained in the article below, which covers the operating principle of different LiDAR scanners and explains how distance measurements are transformed and combined into 3D point clouds. These provide the basis for many 3D mapping products used for different industry applications.
A LiDAR drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors. A LiDAR is an active sensor that uses inertial measurement to correlate where it is on the earth’s surface, resulting in a direct measurement of the earth.
Following a successful research and development collaboration with a government agency, our customer GeoAerospace obtained a contract to perform airborne LiDAR capture in various forestry sites along the secluded west coast of Ireland.
Masarang Foundation, a 20-year-old ecological organization founded by world-renowned forester Dr. Willie Smits and based in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, has reforested 35 million trees to date.
Developing an understanding of changes to the forest structure caused by the gypsy moth outbreak with YellowScan’s Mapper LiDAR sensor.
Discover how Bjarke Madsen from Aarhus University in Denmark, used YellowScan Surveyor for its biodiversity research work.
Choose the type of data you want to export.
Inside-canopy information
YellowScan LiDAR systems provide a higher point density and more echoes under canopies, resulting in more localized and dense information.
Tree health monitoring
Monitor the health of trees for early detection of pests and diseases to mitigate outbreaks or even to understand the characteristics of forest fires.
Increased productivity
Processing LiDAR data is much faster than photogrammetry.
Freedom of surveying
Drone surveys allow for more administrative freedom and are cost-effective tools to quickly map large areas.
Rugged & Reliable
Compatible with difficult field conditions such as extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, etc.
