The invention relates to a forest tree
diameter at breast height and tree height measurement method based on double-layer unmanned aerial vehicle
laser radar point cloud fusion in a complex under-forest environment, and belongs to the technical field of
forestry measurement. According to the method, multi-source
point cloud registration fusion is carried out based on
feature point matching and a weighted fusion
algorithm; generating a ground DEM and carrying out
point cloud height normalization; carrying out individual tree segmentation by adopting an improved mark control
watershed algorithm; constructing a multi-dimensional
feature vector for each tree, and calculating each feature; extracting a tree height based on the fused point cloud; an effective point cloud coverage index is introduced to judge the effectiveness of a 1.3 m height point cloud, weighted least square
circle fitting is adopted to directly extract the
diameter at breast height, and a pre-trained multi-
feature fusion gradient lifting model is adopted to estimate the
diameter at breast height for a tree with point cloud missing. According to the method, complete stand three-dimensional data is obtained through multi-source point cloud fusion, a multi-dimensional feature
system is constructed, a complete mathematical calculation framework is established, and the technical problem that the
diameter at breast height cannot be accurately measured due to complex under-forest
shrub and grass shielding is effectively solved.
