Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), sometimes called drones, become more and more relevant for forest monitoring. Together with fast developments of photogrammetry software and the increasing availability of specific sensors, UAVs become a flexible alternative for airborne remote sensing on smaller areas.
Together with my colleagues Dr. Hans Fuchs, Dr. Nils Nölke and Nils Griese, we give an overview about some typical goals and products that are interesting in context of forest monitoring and forest management.
