The article presents the most significant points of scientific and practical research on the application of satellite and aerial photographs to update information on a forest area. The work discusses unmanned aerial vehicles used for obtaining aerial photography, as well as their tactical and technical characteristics. It is shown how to update the data on a forest area using the methods of satellite image processing to record large changes in the vegetation cover and methods of processing detailed aerial images. Using the example of a trial plot, a technique for automated separation of crown contours, calculation of trunk diameter and timber stock in a forest area was described. Within the framework of the methodology, morphological methods of processing digital images, geoinformation tools for representing and processing spatial information, as well as results of statistical observations of leading scientists of forestry were used. The obtained results were checked on several trial plots by instrumental and eye measurements. The calculated error percentage is acceptable when carrying out a taxation survey. The methodology is applicable for automation thematic interpretation process of orthorectified aerial images with spatial resolution of 5–10 centimeters per pixel. The experiments presented in the article were carried out on the images of closed forests in the north of the Russia’s European part. The results of the research are used to update the obsolete forest taxation plans and taxation descriptions of forest areas.
Keywords: digital image processing, aerial photographs, satellite imagery, UAV, forest area, information updating
