Summer `26 Park3D flight campaign finished

Summer Campaign 2026 – SPSG Parks, Potsdam The summer flight campaign of 2026 has now come to an end. This week we completed the final acquisitions over Pfingstberg and Ruinenberg, concluding eight consecutive days of airborne data collection across the historic park landscapes of the SPSG in Potsdam. In total, approximately 800 ha were surveyed, acquiring leaf-on DJI L2 LiDAR...

The Deciduous Tree Crown Segmentation Challenge

  Last update: 2026-08-26 Deciduous tree crown segmentation is widely recognized as a particularly challenging task. While various approaches for conifer crown delineation have proven successful, their transferability to deciduous forest stands remains limited. Accurate crown segmentation constitutes a critical prerequisite for assessing the vitality of individual deciduous trees based on spectral or structural metrics. In particular, in dense deciduous...

DJIs new UAV Lidar System – the L3

DJI has recently announced the release of its new UAV LiDAR system — the DJI Zenmuse L3. For those engaged in UAV-based LiDAR research and applications, this long-anticipated successor to the L2 represents a significant technological advancement. The cost of professional-grade airborne LiDAR systems with high-accuracy capabilities has remained relatively stable over the past years. For example, some of the...
