sUAS for 3D Tree Surveying: Comparative Experiments on a Closed-Canopy Earthen Dam

sUAS for 3D Tree Surveying: Comparative Experiments on a Closed-Canopy Earthen Dam

Defined as “personal remote sensing”, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have been increasingly utilized for landscape mapping. This study tests a sUAS procedure of 3D tree surveying of a closed-canopy woodland on an earthen dam. Three DJI drones—Mavic Pro, Phantom 4 Pro, and M100/RedEdge-M asse...
