More Information
Summary:A method and apparatus for generating information about a forest. A number of locations in the forest are identified over which an electromagnetic energy sensor system in an unmanned aerial vehicle generates the information about the forest by generating a point cloud with a resolution that meets a point cloud threshold. A route is generated for the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to the number of locations and generate the information about the forest in the number of locations. Un procédé et un appareil de génération dinformations relatives à une forêt. Un certain nombre demplacements dans la forêt sont déterminés au-dessus desquels un système de capteur dénergie électromagnétique dans un véhicule aérien sans pilote génère des informations relatives à la forêt en générant un nuage de points avec une résolution qui satisfait à une limite de nuage de points. Une route est générée pour que le véhicule aérien sans pilote puisse se déplacer vers les emplacements et y générer les informations relatives à la forêt.
