Abstract

Survey of tree height always plays an important role in forest production, investigation, scientific research and education. This paper presents works, measurement process of measuring tree height in laser and the precision compute. This paper presents two measurement methods, to elucidate the conceptual and practical feasibility of the measurement provided in this paper, respectively by comparing the two typical measurement methods which significantly reduce the measurement error. The result reveals that its better performance, much more efficient and convenient to deploy and work than previous altimeter instruments.
