In order to meet the needs of society's increasing demands for forest products jn the coming years, sustainable forestry must become more efficient. Therefore, wc/ propose te bring aerial nnd terrestrial survey technologies inte the forest, as wel1 a$ virtual production strategies, which are wcll-established in manufucturing. Precise position infomiat{on of forest work machines and individual trees are necessary for a highly aecurate navigat{on in the forest. As GPS does not prov{de the required accuracy, especially under a dosed canopy, we propose a new localization appreach bused on a rnulti-sensor system. The approach wi11 help to preserve the forest health while raising effieiency and enables applications based on highly aecurttte position information. The fiist pait of this article gives a review on commun localization slrategies. The next part introduces the components of the sensor system in detail. In the third part the underlying principles are dari(ied and uxaniples are given of how these are appl{ed to new applications in fot'estr},. The results are evaluated
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
