#Indien führt in #Delhi einen umfassenden #Baumzensus durch, um #Wälder besser zu schützen und den Kampf gegen #Klimawandel und #Wüstenbildung zu stärken.
Freiwillige und Experten erfassen #Baumarten, Zustand und #Kohlenstoffspeicherung.
Moderne Technologien wie #LiDAR und #Drohnen sollen die Zählung unterstützen.
Ziel ist es, durch mehr #Bäume die #Klimaneutralität bis 2070 zu erreichen und die #Luftqualität zu verbessern.

Genau: #Toleranz bezieht sich nicht darauf, daß der Staat es tolerierte, wenn eine absolut gesetzte HÖCHSTgeschwindigkeit überschritten wird, sondern auf die #Messtoleranz.
Jede #Messtechnik hat eine gewisse Ungenauigkeit und die darf in einem #Rechtsstaat nicht zum #Bussgeld führen. Moderne Geschwindigkeitsmessung (z.B. #Lidar, #SectionControl) ist bei korrektem Gebrauch viel genauer als der pauschale Toleranzabzug (aus den 1970ern?) vorgibt.
Raspberry Pi LiDAR: Build Your Own 360° #LiDAR For Under $300
Trotz #LIDAR & Metallfunden war bisher unklar, wo die Belagerungsstellungen der Prosnitzer Schanze (1630/1677) lagen. Den Durchbruch bringen ein Kartenfund im #Riksarkivet & Geländedaten des LAKD-MV.

Ein autonomer #Roboter der Osaka Metropolitan University navigiert mit #Lidar präzise durch #Hochbeete und kann sogar empfindliche Früchte wie #Erdbeeren ernten.
Grundlage ist eine Kombination aus virtueller Simulation und realer Testumgebung. Das System spart Zeit und Kosten und eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten für automatisierte #Landwirtschaft.
Voraussetzung sind aber kontrollierte Umgebungen, Fahrbahnen und etwa Hochbeete. 
NOLA.com: Tulane keeps finding lost Maya cities, thanks to technology that's changing archeology
A decade ago I presented this pair of slides to an all-staff seminar at the Australian Antarctic Division. First shows a lidar pass as a reasonable scale for piloted aircraft. Second is a dense point cloud of a ship in sea ice showing a reasonable scale for RPAS/drone operations.
This is still true. At the time no small RPA existed that could operate in those conditions. In 2021/22 I was flying one in the Arctic, and it turns out slide 2 was very optimistic!

Fairly disappointed, but not altogether surprised, that the new Non-forest Tree mapping from Forest Research is not really useful for mapping trees on #OpenStreetMap. Mostly it only has 1 m resolution Lidar, so the map shows canopy above 3 metres in height. Undoubtedly useful for other purposes, such as shade calculations.

Urban settlements in the #Amazon region? They existed long before Columbus. But knowledge about them was more or less lost for a long time. In her keynote lecture on Tuesday, Bolivian archaeologist Carla Jaimes Betancourt from the #UniBonn explained why #Lidar technology is now bringing back this knowledge and what new discoveries have already been made.
In an interview, she also told us why she became an archaeologist
