Operational aerial photography system for supplementing orthophotographs following economic interventions or calamities
The methodology provides a detailed procedure for the use of unmanned aircraft equipped with an optical sensor/camera to provide orthophotographs and map information following harvesting or calamities in forest management. The current state of forest stands in European countries and the prediction of their development in the near future indicates an growing need to obtain operational data on the state of forest stands. This innovative system helps in collecting important forest ecosystem data and thus helps combat climate change, wind calamities, extreme droughts, and reduce the risk of forest fires. From this perspective, it clearly has an extremely positive impact on the quality of the environment and society.
