    摘要: A laser radar includes: a laser, an optical transmission system, a 1-dimensional array of photo-detectors, an optical reception system, and an electronic control system. The laser emits a wavelength of light, and the optical transmission system shapes the light into a beam, and scans the beam along a fan of transmission light paths toward a target. The photo-detectors are capable of time-of-arrival measurements and are sensitive to the wavelength of light. The optical reception system collects the laser light reflected from the target along a fan of reception light paths. The electronic control system synchronizes the scan of the beam with a respective time-of-arrival measurement from each of the photo-detectors, and analyzes the time-of-arrival measurements. The system is configured for all of the transmission light paths and all of the reception light paths to lie in one plane, with all of the reception light paths intersecting with at least one of the transmission light paths.

    摘要: A forest resource information generation structure and a forest resource information generation method enable more efficiently grasping forest resource information via direct measurement of a breast height diameter with no need for an actual measurement data collection process such as a ground survey are provided. A forest resource information generation structure 100 is a structure for generating forest resource information using point cloud data D00 of forest resources, the point cloud data D00 being acquired via a remote sensing technique, and includes a tree top detection processing section 10 for obtaining tree top information D10 and a breast height diameter calculation processing section 35 for obtaining breast height diameter information D35, and further includes a tree trunk detection processing section 30 for obtaining breast height part information D30 based on terrain height information obtained from the point cloud data D00 and the tree top information D10, and the breast height diameter information D35 is generated by the breast height part information D30 being subjected to processing in the breast height diameter calculation processing section 35.
