Remote Sensing

Research lines:

- Developing methods for the detection of temporal and spatial changes in 3D vegetation structure (height, volume, biomass).

- Understanding the role of environmental factors in plant eco-physiology at the landscape level.

Equipment use in the Laboratory:

- UAV Mapker multicopter:

o Maximum payload weight: 2 kg 

o Autonomy: 20-45 minutes per batteries. 

o Number of batteries: 6.  

o Click & Fly system that guarantees agility in the exchange of payloads. 

o GPS telemetry PPK Emild M2 system.

- GPS Reach RS2 (accuracy 0,05 cm)

- GPS Reach RS (accuracy 0,10 cm)

- LiDAR GS-100M+ (Laser Light Detection and Ranging) sensor for 3D measurement.  Emission of 750,000 laser points per second. Accuracy 1 cm (100 m AGL flights).

- Multispectral sensor Micasense RedEdge-P. Captures multispectral images (5 spectral bands: blue, green, red, rededge, infrared) and RGB (high resolution panchromatic band).
