On 1st and 2nd of November 2021, the 6th workshop took place. The main topic was the use of modern remote sensing technology to detect damage to forest trees. On the second day, all participants had the opportunity to fly DJI drones in manual and automated flight modes in the beautiful surroundings of the arboretum in Kostelec nad Černými lesy.
The workshop was organized by the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, as part of the research project NAZV QK1920458, focusing on objective methods for detecting harmful agents using remote sensing to support state forest administration decision-making.
During the first day, experts introduced topics such as UAV technology in remote sensing, forest damage visualization, photogrammetry, automatic image classification, and LiDAR data processing. Among the key speakers were Peter Surový, Roman Modlinger, Karel Kuželka, Tereza Hüttnerová, and Marek Hrdina.
The workshop provided a valuable opportunity for forestry professionals to enhance their knowledge of UAV-based remote sensing and practical flight skills, contributing to the modernization of forest monitoring techniques.
