Milto is in her third year of the EngD and recently presented a paper (Alignment of hyperspectral Imagery and full-waveform LiDAR data for visualisation and classification purposes)at the 36th International Symposium of Remote Sensing of the Environment (36th ISRSE).

The ISRSE conference is organised by the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing and researchers from all over the world present their cutting-edge research and experiences on earth observation programs and applications.

Milto’s research focusses on enhancing visualisations and classifications of airborne remote sensing data for remote forest surveys. In her paper, she presented her new open-source tool, DASOS. This tool aligns the hyperspectral images with the full-waveform LiDAR data and creates 3D-coloured representations of the scanned area and alignment metrics. Those metrics are used to create tree coverage maps with substantially improved accuracy.

Congratulations Milto!
