Abstract
In this work a new lightweight LiDAR solution designed for UAV application will be investigated. In particular, we show that using this multi-echo LiDAR it is possible to obtain DTM reconstruction of the densely forested area surveyed in good agreement with the local technical regional map (CTR). We have also estimated the mean height of the trees from the estimated CHM with relative error equal to 5%.
