Abstract

A national mobile lidar laboratory was developed in 1979 at the Chalmers University of Technology, which was then the base for our research activities. The laser remote sensing was recently reviewed (1), and the mobile lidar system was described in detail in a recent paper (2). When the construction of the mobile system was completed in 1980 we began an evaluation and development phase for the system and its applications at the Research Department of the Env. Prot. Board. For a period of two years the system was further developed and operated at several field tests. The results of the field work were presented in national reports and in papers being prepared. A paper on the conclusions from the complete testing and evaluation phase will also be published.
