Multispectral drone images for the early detection of bark beetle infestations: assessment over large forest areas in the Italian South-Eastern Alps by Aurora Bozzini, Langning Huo, Stefano Brugnaro, Giuseppe Morgante, Henrik Jan Persson, Valerio Finozzi, Andrea Battisti, Massimo Faccoli

“…This study assessed the detectability of infested trees over large spruce dominated areas (20–60 ha) using high-resolution drone multispectral imagery.MethodsA multispectral sensor mounted on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) was used to capture images of the investigated spruce stands weekly during June 2023. These were used to compute the reflectance of all single trees, derive vegetation indices, and then compare these between bark beetle infested trees and healthy ones.ResultsThe results showed that it was possible to separate the spectral features of recently infested trees from the healthy trees during the final developmental stage of the first beetles’ generation, despite the limitations due to difficulties in image processing over large areas. …”
