Nowadays, for many remote sensing applications, drones are employed for gathering data, as it provides low cost image acquisition with minimal human intervention. Drone remote sensing has an extensive use in forestry for maintaining inventories, mapping canopy structure and monitoring forest fires. Maintaining a Forest inventory database is a crucial task as it is the only means of keeping a record of the trees. This study aims to explore UAV based image acquisition (consumer-grade sensor) and analysis for forest studies using structure from motion technique.The main objective is to derive a methodology for computing tree parameters such as tree height, …

Hardwood and pine stand volume estimates compiled from past field plot samples were compared to Lidar volume estimates through the interpretation of Lidar assessed height, crown width and trees per acre to ascertain if Lidar derived volume estimates can be used in lieu of traditional volume measurements.
