Innovations in Lidar Acquisition and Implementation to Improve Operation Efficiency and Fibre Supply Precision
In November 2019 and January 2020, the CIF-IFC and FPInnovations hosted 4 successful workshops on “Innovations in Lidar Acquisition and Implementation to Improve Operation Efficiency and Fibre Supply Precision” in northwestern and northeastern Ontario.
These one-day workshops focused on recent innovations in LiDAR acquisitions and technologies, such as Single Photon LiDAR, for use in forest management practices.
Through technical presentations by speakers from across Canada, participants gained an understanding of current LiDAR practices, products and technologies and learn their value in natural resource planning.
A special thanks to FPInnovations for co-hosting these workshops with us.
Another thank you to the workshop supporters: Forestry Futures Trust Ontario, Natural Resources Canada, and Sustainable Forestry Initiative.
