The app Arboreal Tree Height is available on Android. We have added a lot of improvements this summer so check it out. The app Arboreal Forest is not available on Android and we have no plan to release it on that platform.
Thanks for the suggestion. It was some years ago we did this video. We are working on a big update for the Android version. We will probably doing a new evaluation and publish the raw data after it is published.
When will the app be available in google playstore? I only have the hight-messurement-tool! The new tool would be really interesting for governmental forests if the plot designs of the governmental forests can be implemantated in the app. Unluckily all the provinces of germany have different plot designs.
Thanks for the feedback. We are considering to let users send coordinates to the app and then the app will guide the user to that location. Maybe that could solve the problem with different plot designs? There is not so many Android devices that have a Lidar sensor and that makes it hard to release on Google Play Store.
Thanks for the reply. I actually ment the plot designs that are given in forest inventory guidelines of different regions in Germany. Those Gudelines have different circles/radii from the center of the Plot. Depending on the distance to the center different information/diameters of trees need to be examined. It seems that the necessary information to make a plot that fits with the governmental guidelines is within the data anyways. I will check this 👌
Hi. I"m using Arboreal Forest and Arboreal Tree. I wish to have the new improvements of the application Arboreal Forest. Also, a cvs export of the results would be very useful to me. Thank you very much!
Great🎉! I work in a tropical dry forest from Brazil biomes called Caatinga, where most trees have multiple steams and the inclusion factor starts at 2 cm in DBH. What is the minimum width that the program recognizes as a steam?
@@jekenstedt Thank you very much, I am already a subscriber to Arboreal Tree and I am also considering using Arboreal Forest in my field work. Best regards from Brazil
@@emanuelmad - The latest version of Arboreal Forest is also in Portuguese (But I think your English is better than my Portuguese:-)). We also have a special feature that could be of interest for the Brazilian forests. If you are interested we could take a video-meeting?
Hello! I will be part of an collegiate ecology expedition to Costa Rica beginning next Thursday May 18. I would like to discuss the potential use of your app for a class. I am curious if in addition to these terrific videos you may have compiled any other instructional information as well. I will keep an eye on this for a resply and also a way to reach out to you directly. Thanks in advance! SMWS
Hello Scott, sounds nice to go to Costa Rica. Please feel free to reach out on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/johan-ekenstedt/ or to johan@arboreal.se. Best regards / J
I’ve been using this app for over a year now and I’m very satisfied with the results. I’ve used the app and then after felling the tree have verified the measurement against the actual tree length. It’s been with 5% of the reading.
I've had trouble getting the diameter to work reliably. It seems more difficult if I have a deeply furrowed trunk. I try different distances, heights, etc- but never see the "greeen box."
Please send an image of the kind of trees that you try to measure to support@arboreal.se. If you have a trunk that isn't straight, you need to rotate the camera so it is aligned along the trunk.
Excellent app! I am using it as crucial tool in the urban forest management of our 1500 HOA trees. I can measure at a rate of about 1 minute per tree. The data is downloaded later as a CSV spreadsheet compatible file for easily updating inventory data. Our HOA is volunteer run on a tight budget so tools like this really help.
What is the range? Probably not enough to capture an entire tree. I've read that the iphone has a 5m limit (like 16 ft). Not enough! Can anyone confirm this?
True - the accuracy is great up to 5 meters. If you want to capture a 3D-representation of a whole tree it is not enough. It is enough if you want to measure the diameter at breast height.
Sounds like a great idea. I know that Timbeter (timbeter.com) and Dralle (fr.dralle.dk/mscale) has smartphone applications to measure stacks. But I think they don't use a Lidar sensor in their applications. We have sometimes considered to build a simple application just to measure the total volume of the stack. But it is hard to know if there is a market for that. Feel free to send an e-mail to johan@arboreal.se if you want to share your opinion with us.
It till locate the trees in local 3D-positions and global positions. It will not create a complete point cloud. You should test Polycam app if you want a point cloud: apps.apple.com/us/app/polycam-lidar-3d-scanner/id1532482376
Yes, many GNSS devices supports bluetooth-connection to iPhone/Ipad. eos-gnss.com/knowledge-base/articles/how-to-connect-arrow-on-ios The standard connections just pass the position and not the accuracy to the iPhone...
Yes - all sample plots and trees in get a GPS-coordinate and a local coordinate. You could export the data as a .csv file and import it to your favorite application.
I just got your app, but can you measure a tree that is on a slight mound if you have to walk away from it on lower ground? The difference between the base of the tree and the ground out where I would walk is about 4-5 feet lower. Thank you.
