The application of GIS technologies and high-precision digital photogrammetry in forest planning and forest fund management, including in other areas of forestry interest.
Goals
- creation of GIS databases;
- updating existing GIS databases;
- obtaining recent cartographic products with high precision;
- mapping the forest fund with the help of data obtained using UAV;
- obtaining the digital model of the land;
- obtaining the latest digital surface model (DSM);
- performing thematic flights in difficult conditions with UAV systems equipped with various sensors.
Resources
HR
Within this technological development activity, the total number of specialists is 26 of which: 1 doctor in forestry; 16 with higher education and 7 with secondary education, within the INCDS Center and 2 subunits of INCDS (SCDEP Braşov and SCDEP Pitești).
Material resources
In order to carry out technological development works and achieve the expected results, INCDS “Marin Drăcea” has a modern infrastructure specific to technological development.
The equipment available for field data collection and processing is modern, specialized and compliant with standards. It is mentioned here:
- office and field computers;
- drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle – UAV) with RGB, multispectral and RTK sensors;
- topographic class GPS equipment and related software;
- image processing software – Pix4Dmapper Pro;
- GIS software, their extensions ESRI ArcGIS, open source solutions – QGIS, etc;
- peripheral equipment (scanners and map plotters, printers, copiers, etc.);
- off-road vehicles.
