Abstract

A special mobile GIS (Geographic Information System) system used for forest resources second-class inventory was developed on the basis of traditional forest resources inventory, remote sensing, GPS (Globe Positioning System) and embedded technology. Portable instrument, embedded development and the integration technology of RS (Remote Sensing), GIS and GPS are all used in this special mobile GIS system. Further, the system composition, key techniques, and current situation of the practical application in China were analyzed in the study. The results are important for applying modern high-tech for the planning and design of digital forest resources to improve the precision and efficiency of inventory and reduce the labor cost and financial investment.
