UAV Data for Coastal Dune Mapping

open access: yesProccedings of 10th International Conference "Environmental Engineering", 2017
High resolution topographic maps are critical for the development of rigorous and quantitative numerical simulation landscape models. These models can inform targeted land management actions that maintain biodiversity and ecological functions. Mapping functional vegetation communities to obtain accurate distribution and population estimates is an ...
