TLS course Bogor

The Chair of Forest Inventory and Remote Sensing at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, together with Indonesian counterparts from the institute of Forest Resource Inventory, Faculty of Forestry, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) jointly implemented a trainings course on 3D- Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). The goal of this course was to show the potential of modern laser scanners to interested students and scientists from IPB. The course was implemented by Dr. Dominik Seidel, who is working on TLS since long, together with Nils Nölke and two student assistants from Göttingen.

A second and scientific goal of the TLS exercise was to investigate the development of basal area over stem height for a number of selected buttress trees in the botanical garden Bogor.
