We conduct research and teaching in remote sensing of forests and other vegetation, as well as environmental analysis with a focus on national maps. The work is primarily based on distance-measuring laser, electro-optical sensors, including digital cameras, and imaging radar.
Forest Remote Sensing (skoglig fjärranalys)
Sensor platforms have traditionally included satellites, aircraft, or drones. Increasingly, we also use sensors mounted on the ground or on vehicles, capturing trees from the side. Remote sensing methods can provide detailed geographic data for forest planning, ranging from measurements of individual trees and variation within stands to the national level. The collected vegetation information can also be used for nature conservation and ecological research.
A common approach is first to process remote sensing data using various image analysis methods and then, with the support of field reference data, estimate the type and quantity of vegetation. Information on changes is obtained by analysing data from multiple time points. Methods that combine projections of existing data with new sensor data are expected to become increasingly important.
We also carry out assignments for various authorities. Examples include customised mapping and environmental monitoring using remote sensing. The field also maintains expertise in geographic information systems (GIS).
