LoA signed between KU and ICIMOD

A Letter of Agreement (LoA) has been signed between the Kathmandu University (KU) and International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) for a study on “Estimation of above ground forest biomass and carbon stock using UAV images”. The project is for one year, starting in August 2014. The project aims to:

• Develop multi-rotor UAV platform suitable for photogrammetric applications
• Develop software to geo-reference images captured using UAV
• Geo-reference the images
• Estimate above ground forest biomass

The Department of Civil & Geomatics Engineering (DCGE) will handle the project at the University.
