Sons of the Forest is host to all sorts of secrets. What is going on across this island of cannibals and mutants, exactly? Why are there laboratories and VIP getaways underground? Time, and ...

A team from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has produced a 3D reconstruction of Wytham Woods using data collected on a recent field trip, as part of a project to improve forest monitoring ...

With clusters and even complete neighborhoods of 3D-printed homes taking shape around the world, we're starting to see the technology deliver on its promise as a streamlined solution for low-cost ...

This is an expanded version of an article that ran on Yale e360 on October 3, 2011: A Revolutionary Technology is Unlocking Secrets of the Forest. High above the Amazon rainforest in Peru, a team of ...

Highly detailed 3D surveys of tropical rainforest plots have been completed as part of a pilot programme led by UCL, providing new data on tree structure, timber volume and carbon storage. The dataset ...

Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by laser-scanning technologies. Doing the same with forest data has proven far more ...

This innovation overcomes one of the biggest challenges in automated forest inventory and management, offering a faster, more cost-effective way to assess forest structure and carbon storage potential ...

3D forest mapping with lasers reveals substantial climate impact of selective logging in the Amazon Scientists using a combination of satellite imagery, airborne-laser technology, and ground-based ...
