    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Alexandra Andersson; [2018]
    Keywords : Entomological LIDAR; Insect detection; Wing-beat frequency; Unbiasing of analysis model; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Insects can be mapped using a method called Scheimpflug Lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging). Sending out light in the near infrared range and detecting the backscattered echo, it is possible to resolve flying organisms in range and time. Insect observations can be distinguished from the background signal through adaptive thresholding. READ MORE
