METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF STAND ATTRIBUTES AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

The invention is concerned with a method for forest inventory and fordetermination of stand attributes. Stand information of trees, sample plots,stands and larger forest areas can be determined by measuring or deriving themost important attributes for individual trees. The method uses a laserscanner and overlapping images. A densification of the laser point clouds isperformed and the achieved denser point clouds are used to identify individualtrees and groups of trees. The invention is also concerned with a computerprogram for performing the method.
