Forest Road Network Design based on Multipurpose Forestry Management in Hyrcanian Forest
Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2019 Traditionally, the main focus of forestry management has been based on wood production but more recently it is directed at multifunctional forest management. Multifunctional forestry management includes many considerations such as ecotourism, ecology, economic and social issues of forest dwellers as well as wood production.

Automatic Forest Road Extraction from LiDAR Data Using Convolutional Neural Networks
, 2023 Accurate location of access roads is important for forest management, in particular in mountain areas. In this paper, we are interested in their detection from LiDAR data using deep learning approaches. For this, we use images computed from an interpolated surface, called digital terrain model (DTM), of the 3D point cloud.

FOREST ROADIDENTIFICATION AND EXTRACTIONOF THROUGH ADVANCED LOG MATCHING TECHNIQUES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 A novel algorithm for forest road identification and extraction was developed. The algorithm utilized Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) filter and slope calculation on high resolution multispectral imagery and LiDAR data respectively to extract both primary ...
