The use and processing of TLS data for purposes of forestry and forest ecology

Trochta, Jan

The use of terrestrial laser scanner in forestry seems to be promising technology for new findings about forest ecosystem together with precise information for forest managers and planners. With new technology comes also new methodology of data acquisition, data processing and presentation of results. In this thesis are proposed methodological aspects of scanning setup if forest with analysis of two main obstacles - terrain and tree stems together with estimation of synergic effect of additional scan and optimal distance of such scan. In the following section software for processing of TLS data from forest environment - 3D Forest - is introduced and briefly described. In the last part original and early attempt of the below ground tree biomass reconstruction and volume estimation using TLS data is presented as a part of coppice forest study.
