The present application relates to a kind of
grassland vegetation coverage measuring device and measuring method, device includes connecting column, lifting mechanism, host computer and camera, host computer is connected with lifting mechanism and camera communication;Connecting column includes vertical connection column and cross bar, column one end is fixed on ground, host computer is installed
on column;Lifting mechanism includes lifting block and telescopic
machine, the output shaft of telescopic
machine connects lifting block, the top of lifting block is equipped with guide shaft, the one end of cross bar is equipped with with guide shaft cooperation installation guide hole, camera is connected with lifting block;Camera changes observation height according to
vegetation type.Compared with prior art, the height of camera is controlled by lifting mechanism in the present application, when using, camera hangs under cross bar to collect information, when height needs to be adjusted, telescopic
machine can be started by host computer or remote
signal control, drive camera to rise or fall, so as to change the effect of camera height control collection range, and the measuring effect is better.
