The invention relates to a forest information 
remote sensing and automatic extracting method based on 
vegetation index 
time series data dispersion measures. According to the forest information 
remote sensing and automatic extracting method, based on 
vegetation index 
time series data of each day in a year of each grid pixel element in a research area, according to the overall distribution condition and the distribution condition in different value ranges of the index 
time series data, an overall dispersion measure index, an intermediate-high dispersion measure index, a growth peak period dispersion measure index and a high value continuity index are designed; based on the principle the 
vegetation index time 
series data dispersion of a forest is small, 
forest classification flow chart is established, forest information is remotely sensed and automatically extracted, and finally a forest distribution map of the research area is obtained. By the adoption of the forest information 
remote sensing and automatic extracting method, based on the process of fully extracting the changes of 
vegetation index data dispersion measures of different forest types on the whole within different value ranges and different time periods, multiple dispersion indexes are established and used for forest information remote sensing and automatic extracting, and the forest information remote sensing and automatic extracting method has the advantages that the robustness is good, the classification accuracy is high, the 
automation degree is high, and the disturbance resistance is high.
