Abstract:

Thanks to the portability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)in monitoring of forest resources,this paper uses RGB tri-band image of UAV to extract the forest measuring parameters (number of stems,height of tree and stand volume)and perform precision validation.Taking P.armandii man-made forest as research object,RGB image of UAV as main information source and based on five individual-tree positioning of 0.08hm2 P.armandii man-made forest sample plots in the early stage,this paper adopts canopy height model (CHM)maximum method and point cloud segmentation method to extract the measuring parameters of P.armandii and establishes a binary volume model of individual-tree in P.armandii man-made forest via RGB image of UAV.The results show that:(1)The results of individual-tree number and tree-height segmentation indicate that CHM maximum segmentation method has a higher precision than point cloud segmentation method,and the segmentation accuracy of the number of stems is 87.17% and 80.79%,respectively;the segmentation accuracy of the height of tree is 0.71 and 0.69,respectively.(2)The determination coefficient (R2)of the binary volume model established according to individual-tree crown breadth and tree-height extracted via CHM maximum method is 0.94,and its root-mean-square error (RMSE)is 0.033 8m3.The results are compared with those of the measured stock volume in standard land based on P.armandii of Yunnan Province binary volume table,the monitoring accuracy of stand volume of the five sample plots based on RGB data of UAV is 79.72%,81.64%,83.57%,82.49% and 80.28%,respectively,with the average accuracy reaching 81.54%.During the extraction of the measuring parameters of P.armandii man-made forest via RGB image of UAV,CHM maximum method is superior to point cloud segmentation method,and the binary volume model of tree height and crown breadth established by it can be used for UAV remote sensing in monitoring P.armandii monolayer man-made forest.
