When I first developed the method to estimate canopy metrics from smartphone spherical panoramas, I used a somewhat convoluted workflow involving command line image manipulation, a plugin for ImageJ to […]
Spherical panoramas can be tricky to stitch properly in dense forests, and especially when canopy elements are very close to the camera (which exaggerates the parallax). Fortunately, the issue attenuated […]
Be sure to check out the previous two posts: 1. Hemispherical Light Estimates 2. Hardware for Hemispherical Photos Once the theory and equipment are taken care of, you are ready […]
Despite the fact that foresters have been estimating forest canopy characteristics for over a century or more, the techniques and interpretation for these measurements is surprisingly inconsistent. As part of […]
