We are getting ready to head to Norway! 🌲🌾🌲
Our team will collect terrestrial laser scanning data to on the connection between forest structure and biodiversity – we are looking forward to two weeks in the beautiful boreal forest north of Oslo.
And we are prepared for swampy conditions 😉

🛰️ Spending 5 months at the Remote Sensing Lab, Freie Universität, to advance my research on protected area management. Grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to the Norway field trip with this amazing team! – chiaramansi93.bsky.social 🌳 #remotesensing #conservation #Erasmus+ #biodiversity

Three-panel image showing a UNet model applied to remote sensing imagery. Left: grayscale UNet output showing probability map of detected features, here trees. Center: input false-color infrared satellite image with vegetation coloured in reddish colours. Right: same input with bright green overlay showing segmented tree crown areas after thresholding.

Blooming horse chestnut tree ‘Rosie’ on the GeoCampus Lankwitz, with pink blossoms, green grass, and a partly cloudy sky.
Close-up of a tree trunk equipped with environmental sensors for measuring growth, light, and soil moisture on the GeoCampus Lankwitz.
3D point cloud model of a tree from TLS scan, color-coded by height from pink at the base to yellow in the upper canopy, on a black background.
On our idyllic GeoCampus Lankwitz, smart sensors track tree growth, soil moisture & light of some of our many trees. TLS scans turn trees like "Rosie" 🌳 the chestnut into stunning 3D models 👓. #TTN #SmartForestry #IoT #TreeGrowth #LoRaWAN #ForestEcology #SensingFUB

Solar-powered LoRaWan station with a large solar panel and control units mounted on a metal frame, installed in a forest clearing.
🌳 In Brandenburg, we’ve set up a TTN-connected station to monitor soil moisture & light intensity—exploring how these factors affect young oak seedlings growing under mature pines. Stay tuned for more news from our #sensorfield!

Point cloud of a forest captured with a terrestrial laser scanner. Different trees are displayed in several colours to highlight individual structures within a 3D space.
Looking forward to sharing more! Forests are more than just tall trees — and our data should reflect that! 🌿

🌲 Meet Hua (shorturl.at/3DGFl), one of our PhD researcher! His research focuses on generating high-quality virtual point clouds that realistically include lower vegetation. This helps improve tasks like semantic segmentation and biomass estimation. Smarter, more reliable ecological AI starts here.

📣 Just a few days to go!
Join us this Saturday, June 28 at #LNDW2025 in the Theaterhof of the Silberlaube @FUBerlin.
As a special add on we’ll be showcasing a small art project by ZK/U fellows, created in collaboration with us: Visual Cultures of Forest Carbon - www.zku-berlin.org/fellows/754/ 🌳🌲

🌲 Curious about what trees do for us—and how we can measure it? Visit us at #LNDW2025 in the Theaterhof of the Silberlaube #FUBerlin on June 28th!
Together we use our new laser scanner to turn trees into 3D models to study their health, structure, & carbon storage. Don’t miss it! 🌳

Three of us—@ffassnacht.bsky.social , @miriamher.bsky.social & @HuaJiang—are heading to the Living Planet Symposium in Vienna next week! We will present on forest practitioners' requirements for remote sensing-based products and modeling surface fuels from 3D TLS Data. Hope to see you there!🌍 #LPS25
