Forest digital models and the different inventory forest parameters can be obtained by the means of digital cameras, airborne laser scanning and terrestrial laser scanning.

One of the principal applications of the LiDAR technology is the generation of DEMs, that will be useful in hydrologic and hydraulic studies intended to prevent waterfloods and natural hazards.

STEREOCARTO has developed a methodology able to identify riverside vegetation and its associated river morphology. This methodology uses airborne LiDAR sensor and multispectral digital cameras as well as in field bathymetric profiles.
