TreeTools near realtime drone inventory for post thinning QC

Friday 8 Nov 2024

 
Interpine’s TreeTools Near Realtime Drone Inventory tool has been developed for foresters to assess stocking in Post Thin stands. This is an early test version release for Windows operating systems, and the project is still ongoing.

The purpose of the release is to give stakeholders an opportunity to test and provide feedback, while encouraging them to submit more data. The accuracy of the stocking assessment given depends on multiple factors, including the effectiveness of canopy recognition and the precision of drone altitude maintenance.

Our goal is to keep the stocking error below 10% under normal conditions, and user corrections can easily be made to the stocking assessment. The following provides an overview for data capture and a guide to using the software.

This project has been developed with funding assistance from the Precision Silviculture Programme, A Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures (SFFF) partnership between MPI and the forest industry led by Forest Growers Research. This freely available during the development funding to provide for industry feedback.
