Identifying Surface Features from Upland Peatlands using LiDAR

The overall aim of this contract is to develop and test processing workflows for National Lidar Programme data to extract and describe small upland drainage (grips) and erosion (gullies and peat haggs) surface features relevant to peatland condition. The features will be identified from specific test areas, and validated against mapped data to determine the accuracy of the methods and outputs, but the workflow processes will be developed with a view to automation and scaling-up their application to enable processin...
