RIT Imaging scientist receives funding from National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and NASA to improve how LiDAR can be used to study forests
12/15/2020 3 Minutes Read
Imaging scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology have several new projects in the works to improve the way waveform LiDAR can be used to study forests. Professor Jan van Aardt from the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science has received a $194,000 award from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and a $197,000 award from NASA for two different but interrelated remote-sensing projects.
RIT will partner with researchers at Battelle on the NGA grant, which will focus on using waveform LiDAR which stands for “light detection and ranging” to create clearer 3D sub-canopy maps of forests. Van Aardt said that LiDAR currently does a good job of outlining the top portion of forests, but by using a more complex form of LiDAR, it can reveal much more detail about
