Terrestrial laser scanning is too expensive? Not any more. @mokros.bsky.social and team have built one for €2k and all the specifications are all open-source papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... @3dforecotech.bsky.social

🌲 What if a terrestrial laser scanner cost ~€2k, and still delivered reliable forest data? We built one. And it works. → DBH accuracy ~1.5 cm → Tree height ~1 m → Open hardware + open software Accessible 3D forest monitoring Wherever you are, get in touch 🌍 Preprint: bit.ly/3HneatY #LiDAR

The Final Conference of 3DForEcoTech COST Action has come to an end. We shared cutting-edge work in ground-based LiDAR, formed lasting collaborations, and, above all, created a truly open and friendly environment. Reflection & what’s next: www.linkedin.com/posts/martin... #3DForEcoTech #LiDAR

It’s December 1st, and we’re giving kids advent calendars, plus a board game each Sunday until Christmas. My 10-year-old daughter wrote me a letter as Santa. We moved to the UK last year—it’s been tough, and I struggle at times. I’ll use her letter as my mantra in hard times. Not crying, you are!
