Utilization of Drone LiDAR for Route Planning of Forest Road and Construction Inspection

Abstract

Recently, the need and demand for forest roads has increased as forestry mechanization is promoted and the function for public purposes, such as public safety, health, and recreation, is increasing. In this study, data from a forest road construction site were acquired using drone LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging). The data were generated, compared, and analyzed before and during construction. Using the drone LiDAR data, a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) with the trees removed was produced
