UAVS and ISR Sensor Technology

The term «precision forestry» was first introduced and discussed at a conference in 2001. The aims of this paper are to explore the scientific roots of the precision concept, define «precision forestry», and sketch the challenges that the implementation of this new concept may present to practitioners, educators, and researchers. The term «precision» does not mean accuracy on a small scale, but instead refers to the concurrent coordination and control of processes at spatial scales between 1 m and 100 km. Precision strives for an automatic control of processes. Precision land use differs from precision engineering by the requirements of gathering,storing and managing spatio-temporal variability of site and vegetation parameters. Practitioners will be facing the challenge of designing holistic, standardized business processes that are valid for whole networks of firms,and that follow available standards (e.g., SCOR, WoodX). There is a need to educate and train forestry professionals in the areas of business process re-engineering, computer supported management of business transactions,methods of remote sensing, sensor technology and control theory. Researchers will face the challenge of integrating plant physiology, soil physics and production sciences and solving the supply chain coordination problem (SCCP).

Das Forschungsprojekt „Prozessintegrierte Softsensorik zur Oberflächenkonditionierung beim Außenlängsdrehen von 42CrMo4“ widmet sich der Entstehung und der In-process-Erfassung von industriell relevanten Randschichtzuständen. Im Speziellen werden sogenannte White Layer und Eigenspannungszustände untersucht. Durch die modulare Verknüpfung von zerstörungsfreier Prüftechnik, Simulationsergebnissen und Prozesswissen mittels Datenfusion wird ein Softsensor erforscht. Dieser soll im Rahmen einer adaptiven Regelung des Drehprozesses eingesetzt werden und eine gezielte Einstellung von vorteilhaften Randschichtzuständen erlauben. The research project „Process-integrated soft sensor technology for surface conditioning during external longitudinal turning of 42CrMo4“ is dedicated to the formation and in-process-detection of surface layers with industrial relevance. In particular, so-called white layers and residual stresses are investigated. A soft sensor is being researched through the modular combination of non-destructive testing technology and process knowledge by means of data fusion. This is to be used in the context of an adaptive control of the turning process in order to adjust beneficial surface states.
