The global crises – climate change and biodiversity loss – have created a need for precise and wide-scale information of forests. Airborne laser scanning (ALS) provides a means for collecting such information, as it enables mapping large areas efficiently with a resolution sufficient for object-level information extraction. Deadwood is an important component of the forest environment, as it stores carbon and provides a habitat for a wide variety of species. Mapping deadwood provides information about the valuable areas regarding biodiversity, which can be used in, e.g., conservation and restoration planning. The aim of this thesis was to develop automated methodology for detecting individual fallen and standing dead trees from ALS data. S...
