A device and method for rapid calculation of forest stock volume, belonging to the field of forest calculation technology, uses a
drone as a platform and integrates a
lidar module, an optical
camera module, a positioning and navigation module, a data storage module, a
data transmission module, and a ground control module to achieve rapid collection, storage, transmission, and preliminary
processing of forest parameters. It employs a
drone-borne
lidar and optical camera working in tandem, using 10
poplar trees as a standard measurement sample to achieve rapid, accurate, and efficient calculation of poplar stock volume. This significantly reduces the labor costs and time required for forest stock volume calculation, enabling calculation of a single forest plot to be completed within 1-2 days with an error controlled within 5%. It is applicable to scenarios such as
forestry resource inventory, forest tenure valuation,
carbon sequestration, and
forestry management, providing accurate and efficient data support for relevant departments.
