ABSTRACT
Recently, drones have found applicability in a variety of
study fields, one of these being forestry, where an increasing interest is
given to this segment of technology, especially due to the high-resolution data
that can be collected flexibly in a short time and at a relatively low price.
Also, drones have an important role in filling the gaps of common data
collected using manned aircraft or satellite remote sensing, while having many
advantages both in research and in various practical applications particularly
in forestry as well as in land use in general. This paper aims to briefly
describe the different approaches of applications of UAVs (Unmanned Aircraft
Vehicles) in forestry, such as forest mapping,
forest management planning, canopy height model creation or mapping forest
gaps. These approaches have great potential in the near future applications and
their quick implementation in a variety of situations is desirable for the
sustainable management of forests.
