Engineering and technology
Technology is the collection of techniques, skills, methods and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, etc. or it can be embedded in machines, computers, devices and factories, which can be operated by individuals without detailed knowledge of the workings of such things.This includes e.g. civil engineering, mechanical engineering,environmental engineering and environmental biotechnology.

More about Forest Remote Sensing
In our research group, we develop and validate remote sensing methods for use in forest management planning and terrestrial environmental analysis and assessment. We are a group of 25 people working
Forest Remote Sensing
In the field of forest remote sensing, we work with a wide range of sensors and platforms relevant to forestry and vegetation assessment. Common sensors include digital cameras, laser scanners and
Optical satellite images
Optical satellite sensors regularly generate images of the Earth, providing valuable data for vegetation classification and forest type analysis. By combining optical data with laser data, the
Digital photogrammetry
Digital Photogrammetry is the creation of three dimensional (3D) point cloud data by applying image matching to overlapping digital images. Photogrammetry means "measuring with light", where the
Research
The research combines detailed studies of the biology and technology of production systems, using systems analyses and interdisciplinary syntheses. The institution has a broad competence profile
Laser scanning
Laser scanning measures positions on objects using light pulses. These measurement coordinates are then used to calculate forest area statistics and estimate various forest parameters. In airborne
Radar
Through advanced radar-based research, we create detailed and up-to-date maps and analyse how different wavelengths can be used to calculate forest characteristics. At SLU, we carry out extensive
National forest estimates
The project group is continuously developing remote sensing methods to generate national raster databases with estimated forest variables. A part of the remote sensing activities involves developing
