Dense Forest Mapping | Geosun GS-260X UAV LiDAR Scanning System

Forestry Survey | Geosun GS-260X UAV LiDAR Scanning System

The Geosun GS-260X was deployed in a mountainous forestry region dominated by dense pine and cypress trees, to perform a high-precision vegetation survey.

Project Overview

• Terrain Variation: Up to 240 m

• Flight Altitude (AGL): 80 m (terrain-following)

• Flight Speed: 5 m/s

• Vegetation: Dense coniferous forest

System Performance

Thanks to its long-range scanning capability and high-resolution laser performance, the GS-260X successfully captured detailed 3D point cloud data under challenging canopy conditions. Its advanced penetration capability allowed it to extract valuable forest metrics beneath dense foliage.

Deliverables Generated On-Site

• Tree location and distribution

• Individual canopy outlines and total canopy area

• Canopy closure percentage

• Tree height measurement

• Automatic tree counting

Outcome

The mission demonstrated the GS-260X’s ability to produce accurate forestry metrics in real time, even in areas with complex terrain and heavy vegetation cover. The system provided actionable data to support forest resource management, biodiversity research, and ecological planning.
