Expertise of the potential host: For over 10 years, I have been working with point clouds derived from airborne or terrestrial laser scanning. I use them to analyze the 3D structure of the area of interest, for applications mainly in forestry or urban ecosystem.
Description of possible topics: 1) Combining airborne and terrestrial point clouds to assess a 3D structure of trees and the forest with the aim of building virtual scenes for radiative transfer modeling. 2) Combining airborne and terrestrial point clouds to assess a 3D structure of urban greenery with the aim of studying its relationship to the thermal regime.
