At the 2012 LiDAR workshop, this presentation by Dwight Crouse and Ian Moss of Tesera Systems Inc. discussed a pilot project done with the Spray Lakes Sawmill FMA on using LiDAR to do inventories on the plots. The importance of doing inventories is discussed, and improvments to the system reviewed. Future opportunities for using LiDAR for forecasting and more advanced projections are also discussed.
