Embodiment Construction

[0022] The method for estimating the stock volume of high canopy density forests based on UAV photography images is as follows:

[0023] 1) Aerial photography image pair preprocessing. Select an area of ​​100*100 square meters or 1 hectare as the research object, and subdivide it equally into 10*10 square meters of sample plots, a total of 100 plots.

[0024] 2) Aerial photography image pair interpretation. Interpret and interpret the refined sample plots using computer vision technology and image recognition technology with the help of computer software: ① Extract the digital surface model DSM i , according to the digital terrain model DTM i , to get the average stand height H of the plot i =H DSMi -H DTMi , according to the formula: The average stand height of the entire study area was obtained; ②The calculation of canopy density in this study adopts the threshold mask method combined with the classical formula, that is, the projected area of ​​the canopy and the tota...

Abstract

The invention discloses an estimation method for a high-canopy-density forest stand volume based on a photographic image pair of an unmanned aerial vehicle. According to the invention, a small lithium-battery unmanned aerial vehicle is used as a flight control platform and carries an ordinary non-metric fixed-focus digital camera, so a photogrammetric measurement system is composed. According to different textural feature information of tree crowns, aerial photographs are automatically judged, read, analyzed and interpreted by combined usage of a computer vision technology and an image recognition technology; therefore, stand description factors like average tree height h, average diameter D, tree density N, canopy degree K1, mingling degree K2, age class A and locality class S are obtained, and the forest stand volume M is calculated via a model.

Description

[0001] 1. Technical field [0002] The invention relates to a method for measuring forest stock volume by aerial photogrammetry, in particular to a method for estimating forest stock volume with high canopy density based on unmanned aerial vehicle photographic images. [0003] 2. Technical Background [0004] So far, the research on the application of UAV aerial photogrammetry technology in forestry is still in its infancy. There are still many problems to be overcome, such as: single tree height extraction, which is greatly affected by terrain fluctuations and has large errors; single tree crown width extraction, which is greatly affected by stand structure, especially high canopy It is difficult to accurately judge the size of the canopy in high-density stands; there is no model with high accuracy for the estimation of stand volume, and many other problems. [0005] Therefore, research on the application of UAV aerial photogrammetry technology in forest resources investigati...
