The invention discloses a
forest resource investigation method based on a
laser radar and visible light synchronous photography technology, and belongs to the technical field of
forestry. The method comprises the following steps: selecting a forest stand to be measured, and setting a scanning
route; scanning the forest stand by using a
laser radar and visible light synchronous photography technology; in the forest stand model, directly identifying
tree species, and counting forest stand density; exporting
point cloud data, performing individual tree segmentation according to a forest tree sequence, and generating DBH data and position coordinate data in batches; calculating the stand volume and
tree species composition of the forest stand; determining a space structure of the forest stand according to the
diameter at breast height data and the position coordinate data of the forest, and calculating a competition index of each tree; and linking the
database with the forest stand model, establishing an
augmented reality forest stand model, and realizing
visualization of the
forest resource data model. According to the method, the three-dimensional visual model of the forest stand can be established, the
tree species can be directly identified, the
forest resource survey data can be obtained through calculation, the survey efficiency is high, the cost is low, the data storage amount is small, and the later
data processing difficulty is low.
