  • LiDAR Research Group maps harvest residues of winter barley for density analysis

    Researchers of the GIScience group of the Institute of Geography of the University of Heidelberg, the Institute for Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing of the University of Osnabrueck and the Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants of the Julius-Kühn-Institut acquired a highly accurate 3D point cloud of harvest residues of winter barley in Brunswick, Germany. In…

  • LiDAR Research Group completes multitemporal multisensor data for boosting quality of plant growth models

    On 19th of June, a multitemporal data set of agricultural plants was completed by researchers of the Chair of GIScience‘s LiDAR Research Group in the course of the projects Hyland and ESOB. A field of several grain varieties and fertilization quantities in maximum growth stage was captured in 3D using a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS).…
