AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing forest measurement techniques struggle to comprehensively measure trunk surfaces of trees within a designated area efficiently, requiring longer movement times and increased costs.

Method used

A forest measurement path generation device and method that utilizes a path generation unit to create a movement path along virtual walls connecting grouped trees, using measuring instruments to measure from the side of the trees, incorporating a tree position acquisition unit, grouping unit, and virtual wall setting unit to optimize the path for comprehensive trunk surface measurement.

Benefits of technology

The method enables more comprehensive trunk surface measurement of trees while reducing movement time and cost by generating paths that follow both sides of virtual walls connecting grouped trees, allowing for efficient and thorough data collection.

Abstract

This makes it possible to more comprehensively measure the trunk surfaces of trees within the measurement range while generating travel routes that minimize travel time. [Solution] The system includes a tree position acquisition unit 102 that acquires tree position information of trees within a designated area, a grouping unit 104 that groups trees based on the tree position information acquired by the tree position acquisition unit 102, a virtual wall setting unit 106 that sets a virtual wall connecting the trees grouped by the grouping unit 104, and a path generation unit 107 that generates a movement path for measuring the state of the trees from the side using a measuring instrument. The path generation unit 107 generates a movement path that follows both sides of the virtual wall set by the virtual wall setting unit 106.
