Post harvest monitoring for ODF

The 2023 ODF unit on video and in a StoryMap, with how the LiDAR, multispectral, and RGB products were built.

What we flew

  • Drone LiDAR for structure and terrain
  • MicaSense RedEdge MX multispectral for species
  • RGB orthomosaic for review and detection

What we delivered

  • Orthomosaic, canopy height model, and classified point cloud for the unit
  • Standing live and dead trees to species
  • Downed woody debris counted, measured, and classed
  • Video walkthrough and an ArcGIS StoryMap of the method

This is the same unit as the downed woody debris case. The video shows what the products look like and the StoryMap walks the method.

Classified LiDAR point cloud over the unit: ground, low vegetation, and tree canopy in separate classes.
