Monitoring tropical forests with light drones: ensuring spatial and temporal consistency in stereophotogrammetric products
Résumé
Light drones provide a cheap and effective tool to monitor forest canopy, especially in tropical and equatorial contexts, where infrastructure and resources are limiting. In these regions, good quality optical satellite images are rare, yet the stakes are maximal to characterize forest function, dynamics, diversity, and phenology, and more generally the vegetation-climate interplay.
