The seminar aims at providing a preliminary definition of the state-of-the-art upon automatic methods for systematized urban green data collection. The talk focuses on the methods and tools that are currently available for the analysis of urban green, considering their degree of accuracy (e.g. location, size, aboveground volume, canopy cover, leaf area, species identity) in relation to the development of the urban green infrastructures.
