University of Freiburg uses portal and satellite data for monitoring forests

To keep track of over 1,000 different photos, satellite pictures as well as radar and laser data of the landscapes a lot of effort and time was needed in the past:

Previously the metadata had to be managed in Excel tables and the research proved to be very complicated having no pictures of the different landscapes to look at. To solve that problem the department intended to handle the metadata in a portal in order to find all locations and pictures more quickly and easily.
