Remote Sensing and Visualization Methods: Monitoring, Modeling, Simulations and Interaction of Forest Resource
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the development of intelligence and visualization technology, forestry is stepping into the smart age. This not only requires an accurate understanding of forest status, but also a grasp dynamic changes and mastery of future developments. It puts forward increasing requirements for efficient and high-precision monitoring, modeling, simulations and interactions of forest resources. Remote sensing, especially the recent fast development of Lidar, Oblique photography, UAV technology etc., provides a new possible means of large-scale high-precision modeling, such as 3D modeling, of the terrain, trees and environment. The combination of remote sensing and visualization methods allows for the integration of the virtual and reality and synchronization based on the digital twin technology. In the forestry metaverse, it can also conduct in-depth participation and interaction in the process of forest change and management. AI algorithms plays an important role in this process, which can make this modeling, interaction and participation process easy, convenient and efficient. This Topic is of particular interest in monitoring and visualization simulations of forest resources, including remote sensing, artificial intelligence, modeling, virtual reality, digital twin; metaverse, interaction, big data, the internet of things and many others.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
