Systematic literature review of data fusion for lidar | Call for STSM applications

The COST Action 'Three-dimensional forest ecosystem monitoring and better understanding by terrestrial-based technologies' (3DForEcoTech) is accepting applications for their short-term scientific mission (STSM) on systematic literature review of data fusion for lidar.

This short-term scientific mission is an important part of the activities of working group 2 on data fusion. During this STSM the successful candidate will perform a systematic literature review of all literature related to data fusion for lidar with other data sources (e.g. optical, microwave, in-situ). The candidate will use specific search terms to make a first selection of scientific papers. Subsequently, the candidate will use a coding scheme to classify the information in the papers based on the abstracts information. After this classification a smaller selection of papers will be chosen that will be analysed in detail, in part by the STSM candidate. The results of this STSM will be used as input for a manuscript on the state-of-the art of data fusion techniques for lidar data for forest structure. The candidate is expected to have 4-6 weeks of full-time availability for this project, experience with lidar, (some) knowledge of data fusion approaches, and ideally experience with a systematic literature review (https://3dforecotech.eu/news/working-group-2-short-term-scientific-mission/).
