Science with LiDAR at Aarhus University
Gregor Leving & Geoffrey Brian Groom
LiDAR data are airborne laser scannings of the Earth’s surface. For Denmark, a full coverage LiDAR point cloud for 2014/2015 exists. During recent years, researchers across departments at AU-ST have applied these data in both research and advisory projects. We will give a short introduction to LiDAR and present a number of applications. These include: Mapping of forest canopy structure, habitat mapping, mapping of hedgerow dynamics and assessment of structural parameters in urban areas
