We are at the MoniFun project annual meeting in Madrid this week, working on developing advanced mapping tools for the European Forest Multifunctionality Monitoring System (EFMMS), aiming to produce accurate ecosystem service maps and enable real-time monitoring of forest changes using RS data.

Testing software updates for our Leica RTC360 terrestrial laser scanner and made a nice 3D model of the SLU building, using the amazing Potree WebGL point cloud viewer developed at Vienna University of Technology. Our terrestrial laser scanner has been funded by the Kempe Foundation.

Modern tools help us collect data from the forest. In terrestrial laser scanning, navigating the scanned areas of the plot can be checked afterwards on a map and a 3D-scene to ensure that the planned trees are visible in the image. But the GPS track can get lost and we need to correct the position.
