Specifications of
Forest Inventory Data
The vinv group establishes and maintains specifications to standardize forest inventory data.
Due to the standardized form, ONE uniform data basis can be created from different inventory methods such as field data, processed laser scannings or machine learning predictions and used in various applications such as visualizations, scientific analyses or forest management.
Precision
Forestry
The vinv group's requirement for inventory data is to represent a forest stand with the highest necessary resolution.
The vinv specifications defines individual tree level by default.
Thereby syntax and semantics of each attribute of each tree is defined. This level of detail allows for both scientific analysis and detailed visualizations of the stand.
