Abstract [en]

Estimation of forest parameters using remote sensing information could streamline the forest industry from a time and economic perspective. This thesis utilizes object detection and semantic segmentation to detect and classify individual trees from images over 3D models reconstructed from satellite images. This thesis investigated two methods that showed different strengths in detecting and classifying trees in deciduous, evergreen, or mixed forests. These methods are not just valuable for forest inventory but can be greatly useful for telecommunication companies and in defense and intelligence applications. This thesis also presents methods for estimating tree volume and estimating tree growth in 3D models. The results from the methods show the potential to be used in forest management. Finally, this thesis shows several benefits of managing a digitalized forest, economically, environmentally, and socially.
