Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the usage of the smartphone app “Smart Measure” to measure the tree’s height, comparing the results with real heights obtained using a measure tape after logging and with heights obtained with two hypsometer instruments (Suunto and TruPulse 200), usually used in forestry. We evaluated 30 trees of Eucalyptus spp. aged 6 years in a homogeneous planting. Trees were measured by 3 previously trained operators which didn’t have any communication between themselves. Tree’s height was obtained and analyzed using descriptive statistical analyses and factorial analyses. The ability and the training of the operator were determinant factors, but the three instruments presented the possibility to obtain trustable and precise height measurements, in a way that the app “Smart Measure” can be utilized with accuracy to measure the trees if there’s a previous training by the operator.
林业部门的移动技术:使用智能手机测量树木高度
本文旨在评估使用智能手机应用程序 "Smart Measure "测量树高的情况,并将测量结果与伐木后使用卷尺测量的实际高度以及林业常用的两种湿度计(Suunto 和 TruPulse 200)测量的高度进行比较。我们对 30 棵树龄为 6 年的桉树进行了评估。树木由 3 名经过培训的操作员测量,他们之间没有任何交流。通过描述性统计分析和因子分析获得并分析了树木的高度。操作员的能力和培训是决定性因素,但这三种仪器都能获得可信和精确的高度测量结果,如果操作员以前接受过培训,还可以使用应用程序 "智能测量 "准确测量树木。
