Almost 70% of Japan's total land area is covered in forest, and it makes Japan the world's leading forest country. However, decline of the forest industry has become a serious problem. 'Systematic and efficient protection, growth and use of the forest' is required to resolve the issues surrounding the forest of Japan. Thus, it is vital to accurately monitor the past, present and future forest. In recent years, airborne laser survey, and utilizing that data for terrain analysis and forest resources information analysis is spreading. In addition, forest monitoring technology has evolved with time, and choosing the most appropriate technique depending on the purpose is required. This paper introduces forest monitoring technology using waveform recording type aircraft LiDAR, the cutting edge surveying technology.
