The researchers of the University of Technology have developed very sophisticated equipment: the software allows realized create a 3D map through the use of laser pulses sent by the aircraft on patrol on a given area. This will provide important information on habitat. The purpose of this research is therefore to be able to protect the Biodiversity in Europe , a real asset. Just think that protected areas represent a fifth well of the entire surface of the ‘ European Union , so it becomes difficult for researchers to be able to monitor the status meter by meter, so to speak. With this algorithm developed by researchers at the natural reserves of Europe can then be monitored with these laser pulses emitted by aircraft. The peculiarity of this software is its ability to be able to recognize and distinguish the different layers of vegetation, not only trees and shrubs but also grass and plants erbaceee, to check if the affected area enjoys or less good health. The airplanes are able to go to setacio strips of land up to 800 meters wide, which of course they could not do the same scientists in the course of an inspection.
So said Pfeifer, one of the authors of the research Vienna: “ We have reached an agreement between the 80 and 90% between our data and those of the surveys on site. The same level of agreement that is expected if the same region is evaluated by two different people “. At this link you can further research into the subject.
