Abstract:In using RS and GIS data,factor as forest volume of self-changed quantity can be drawn among remote sensing, the paper proposes to apply a new mathematical model to partial least squares (PLS)regression,which can remarkably improve stability of estimating forest volume and can overcome more improtant problems in traditional ordinary least squares (OLS) for model established that is hardly to overcome less sample plot, strong correlation among self-changed quantity and weak explanation to the volume and etc., and application to Zhangpu district in Fujian province.The result shows that the PLS enjoys good estimation pricision and can cut down cost in application.
