Q-ForestLab Two members of our Q_Forestlab took part in the IGARSS2024 conference. We presented the "Quantifying forest dynamics using bi-temporal terrestrial laser scanning data" and "Benchmarking instance segmentation in terrestrial laser scanning point clouds" respectively.


The first month of our field campaign in the Queensland Permanent Rainforest Plots (Queensland Permanent Rainforest Plots - qprp-aus.com) has been a success with 6 plots already completed and 10 more to go in the coming weeks! [1/5]
