Hello everyone,
Just a reminder of our meeting this evening. Olivier Tsui will be talking
about the applications of UAV in forest operations.
This season we are again fortunate to be guests in the offices of the
Geological Survey of Canada at 605 Robson Street in Vancouver, in their 15th
floor boardroom. There is a link on the web site to Google Maps. Remember
that the talks will begin at 5:30. The lobby doors and the elevators are
locked at 6:00. Please try and be in before then. When you arrive on the
15th floor you will see a sign directing you to the boardroom in the SW corner
of the building.
Regards,
Doug Hrynyk
Steering Committee Coordinator
Vancouver GIS Users Group

Topic: Applications of UAV in Forest Operations: Hype or Reality?
Speaker: Olivier Tsui, FPInnovations
Abstract:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or “drones” are increasingly popular in our
technology and data driven world. Recent advances in miniaturisation of sensors
and instrumentation, as well as computer vision and image processing, have
enabled a new era of remote sensing for civil applications. UAV have led to
affordable and flexible mapping solutions, especially for small area imaging,
monitoring and analysis. With a mandate to support the forest sector in Canada,
FPInnovations remote sensing group has focused its research over the last four
years towards expanding the scope of applications of UAV in forest operations.
This presentation provides an introduction and overview of UAV in the context
of forestry.
Bio:
Olivier Tsui has worked in the geospatial industry for almost 15 years and for
much of this time specializing in the field of remote sensing. Currently as a
Researcher at FPInnovations, he studies the applied use of UAV and other
remote sensing technologies to support various aspects of forestry across
Canada.
