Future oriented Smart Forestry in China:Evolution and Development Trends of Observation Instrument Systems
The production and circulation of forest observation information form the foundation and precursor for the advancement of smart forestry practices,with observation equipment and survey personnel being the primary producers of this information.This article takes the history,current state,and future of the forest observation instrument technology system as the starting point,and is supported by the development trajectory of fundamental public technology,to analyze in depth the coupling between forest observation instruments and forest observation requirements.The traditional forest observation instrument systems can no longer meet the growing needs of forestry surveys in terms of timeliness and accuracy,and they are high isolation,low integration,cumbersome operation,and low efficiency.This is mainly attributed to the current focus on mature instrument usage and data analysis in forest observation,with instrument development prioritizing algorithm compensation and the integration of third-party components over physical structure design.To address the lack of updates in basic measurement principles and the delay in setting forest observation standards,the article elaborates on the current and future joint modes of observation instruments,and analyzes the possible development status and application prospects of forest observation instrument joint modes from the logical architecture to the physical technology level.Finally,based on current trends in fundamental technological development,the article speculates the potential new forms of forest observation instruments and forecasts novel intelligent forest observation systems that may be realized in China in the near future.
