Estimating the term…
The invention is concerned with a method for forest inventory and for determination of stand attributes. Stand information of trees, sample plots, stands and larger forest areas can be determined by measuring or deriving the most important attributes for individual trees. The method uses a laser scanner and overlapping images. A densification of the laser point clouds is performed and the achieved denser point clouds are used to identify individual trees and groups of trees. The invention is also concerned with a computer program for performing the method.
Method for determination of stand attributes by means of a laser scanner and images, in which a point cloud with three-dimensional information about the target points and describing the stand is produced by means of a laser scanner, characterized in that
