Abstract

Abstract: One of the most essential renewable resources in the world is the forest. An important issue in the forest industry today is the lack of relevant, reliable and regularly updated information on forest resources. Over the years, this problem has been addressed through labour-intensive field methods. However, in a competitive market and development of high-tech data collection and analysis tools, another issue becomes apparent – the low reliability and detail of the existing remote automated tools of data acquisition on forest resources. The research presented in this article is aimed at addressing this issue. The results of the work built on modern methods and approaches will provide an impetus for the introduction of digital technologies to many business processes of the forest industry.
