Abstract

The relevance and significance of the problem of automated forest inventory is dictated by regulatory documents defining the main directions and principles of digitalization of the country’s economic sectors, including the forest sector. The article is devoted to the problem of automated inventory of forests and digitalization of wood resources by technical means of ground-based taxation of stands, as well as remote aerial photography methods, analytical decoding of the forest canopy and determination of the complex of taxation indicators through the use of information and reference systems of multidimensional forest taxation standards. To construct an orthophotoplane and obtain a digital vegetation model, aerial photography works that meet the requirements of the photogrammetric method and the method of air-laser scanning (ALS) are described. The requirements for the parameters of aerial photography using the photogrammetric method, as well as for the parameters in the BOS, are set out. Variants of the technology of inventory of stands are proposed, indicating the appropriate tools for obtaining remote sensing data of the Earth. An assessment of the reliability of contour decoding of the species composition of stands with different spatial resolution of remote sensing data is given. The accuracy of digital vegetation models with different spatial resolution of data, the possibility of evaluating morphometric and volumetric indicators of tree crowns, as well as the resulting indicators of canopy closeness as a result of automation are indicated. An important element of the automated digitalization of wood resources is the allocation and taxation of cutting areas, the assessment of the commodity-monetary potential of stands allocated for logging.
