Within the DFG Initiative for Excellence, Global Networks funding scheme, outstanding international research collaborations are funded. The initiated Global Network “Airborne Laser Scanning for 3D Vegetation Characterization: Set-up of an International Signature Database” allows intensifying the collaborative research of the Chair of GIScience with the Vienna University of Technology (Prof. Pfeifer) and the University of California Berkeley (Prof. Kelly). This research aims at bridging the gap between sensor and target perspective by systematic exploratory analysis of Airborne Laser Scanning vegetation signatures. As central element of this research a novel web-based ALS signature database will be established. Read More
