    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    No, it still requires an arborist for tree identification in this case Tom There are ways of automating species detection using imagery but this requires a huge amount of time to train models (we are doing this but only for a few common re veg species) it’ll get there eventually, all you have...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    The cool thing about it is that generating these reports is now partially automated. Once the point cloud processing has been done we can export individual tree information into this format. Having these available, bridges the gap between modern tech deliverables and traditional excel and pdf...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    I’ve been a bit slack here recently but we’ve been quite busy. I have seen the Gree hill stuff. I’ve been in talks with a few sources in Europe about similar setups. The initial setup cost of scanning a city is quite expensive but as time goes by it should be more and more obtainable. We’ve been...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    Here’s a link for some of the recent work we’ve been doing. This job is not my own, it’s for a friend. He’s asked me to consult and to dust off the harness if it goes ahead. Great to use our scanner on, we will be extracting a lot of information from this one.

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    I’ve just had a brief look through this, and it’s a fantastic resource (I will spend a bit more time running through it when I get some). I’ve always had a knack for absorbing information, and this subject really adds an extra layer of motivation for me. Yes, the jargon can be a bit...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    Yes that’s right, the forestry sector have been using it for quite some time and have developed some cool ways of utilizing LIDAR anything from scanning areas to find the best route for road making, scanning blocks to calculate yield and even scanning and calculating slash or fuel source in...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    The colours are just the height model. Darker red areas are the higher areas and the mosaic is the individual canopy. Some of these have been merged but the dots with the numbers are the individual stems. There was a significant sub canopy on this site but we have a way of isolating which...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    I have been testing this on a big block of pine trees that are scoped to be heli lifted out (I will attach some photos of how it can be presented). I worked with a local company to compile this data into something useable for us... there were limits as some of the stems weren't completely...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    Interesting that you mention that. We actually have a test site in the next couple of weeks to put our unit up against our native forest (extremely dense canopy and sub canopy) lidar has had its limitations with this kind of forest in the past but with the five returns we are predicting some...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    Awesome Basswood, that sounds like a fantastic project to be involved with. I agree we are lacking a little bit behind; vegetation and trees are what we work with. I feel as arborists we should be utilizing tech available... I'm sure there are people out there doing it in our industry, or at...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    I'd prefer not to put that on a public forum, but it is somewhat more affordable than you would expect. The software is not a one stop shop so it depends on what you want to achieve with this technology... we are very much at our infancy when it comes to what programs are going to be useful for...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    I had a play around with some photogrammetry but due to the issues you raised above it wasn't super useful for what we wanted, the real advantage to lidar (see above video) is that canopy penetration and creating a ground layer. It really allows you to extract a lot of data out of the point...

    Lidar use in Arboriculture.

    Hey everyone, For those who don't know me, I’m Jesse Coleman, and I run a company based in New Zealand. We’ve recently acquired a LiDAR unit and have begun exploring its potential. Initially, we aimed to use it for data acquisition, estimation, and presentations for larger-scale helicopter...
