3/🧵We used high resolution (1 m) remote sensing data, including LIDAR-derived vegetation, to parameterise a cost map for Birmingham, UK. This enabled detailed individual-based movement simulations across the map, varying avian perceptual range (PR) and urban road traffic congestion by time of day.

DNR outlines shift to lidar and aerial imagery to map Washington’s forests
Department of Natural Resources officials described a move from expensive, ground‑based forest inventories to a remotely sensed, lidar‑and‑imagery approach that can produce high‑resolution data statewide at lower cost but with technical tradeoffs around canopy-only detection and IT requirements.
