Through data collection, resource assessment, planning and design, environmental protection and construction risk management, it provides a scientific basis for forestry development and ensures the sustainable use and protection of forestry resources.
[0003] Traditional forestry surveying methods primarily involve investigating and analyzing forest resources. These surveys typically involve dividing the area into zones and examining the trees within those zones. Since there are numerous survey points, each survey requires searching for them. Furthermore, the dense forest environment, complex terrain, and the need for long-term, periodic surveys to track data changes and monitor ecosystem health present continuous challenges, are time-consuming and labor-intensive, increase the workload of survey personnel, and significantly enhance the difficulty of monitoring. Summary of the Invention
