Optimal Altitude, Overlap, and Weather Conditions for Computer Vision UAV Estimates of Forest Structure

Ecological remote sensing is being transformed by three-dimensional (3D), multispectral measurements of forest canopies by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and computer vision structure from motion (SFM) algorithms. Yet applications of this technology have out-paced understanding of the relationship b...
