Perception as a layer of forest-machine intelligence

The project connects remote-sensing pipelines, individual-tree detection and classification with the wider CoHMI programme in navigation and operator support. The scientific objective is not merely scene recognition but information that can be used by an automated or human-supervised machine.

UAV field research in forest
Remote sensing and local field work provide complementary views of the operating environment.

Remote sensing → environment model → automation

Individual-tree detection

Review and comparison of remote-sensing processing pipelines.

Species classification

AI methods for extracting operationally relevant forest information.

Environment perception

Data structures useful for navigation, planning and operator support.

Human supervision

Automation designed to remain compatible with human-in-the-loop operation.
