Remote sensing data for forest management

Summary

The project will develop artificial intelligence algorithms that will use satellite images, nano-satellites and drones, with the aim of developing forest information and producing cartographic products related to forests, which are fundamental for forest management and risk mitigation, both on a landscape and stand scale.
