Forestry
BGS has collected LiDAR and Imagery of hundreds of millions of acres of forestry lands throughout North America in the last decade. Using the latest in LiDAR sensor technology and large format multi-spectral cameras, has allowed for the cost-effective expansion of forestry mapping for forestry metrics, individual tree analysis and planning on both private and federal lands.
The detailed terrain models generated from high density LiDAR collection have allowed foresters to view and map individual tree shape and determine species. Combined with 4 band imagery, to study forest health, today’s forester has all the tools available to plan, design, monitor and cultivate their plantations. The ability to do more in the desk top environment has also reduced the dependance on costly field survey requirements and boots on the ground to mitigate risk and improving over-all project safety.
We help provide solutions for:
- Forest inventories
- Forest health
- Wildfire risk management
- Land base assessment
- Canopy height measurements
- Tree species classification
- DTM/DSM/CHM generation
- Access and road design for harvest in remote areas
