3DGeo Vegetation Workgroup
A Workgroup of the 3D Geomatics Committee
Mission and Work Plan
- Mission: The Vegetation Workgroup discusses past, current, and future remote sensing technologies and their applications to improve 4D characterization of vegetation over time. Our meetings include discussion of several data types (including but not limited to lidar, stereo satellite and aerial photography, and unmanned aerial systems), practical applications (such as forest management, habitat assessment, and conservation and restoration of Minnesota's natural resources), and strategies to maintain adequate collection and analyses of these data for our day-to-day work.
