ABSTRACT
Ecologists often need to extract data from forests to determine the flora and fauna conditions. Tree climbing is one technique used for this. Climbers go to the top of the tree and use hand held equipment to collect and make notes while they are descending. This process demands expert climbing skills and biology expertise, which are two characteristics not commonly found. This paper describes the design of mobile system for 3D data collection and reconstruction of the field research environment for remote evaluation. The prototype can be used to reduce the time spent up trees and collected data that can be used for crowd-sourced evaluation.

Tree branching reconstruction from unilateral point clouds
Transactions on Edutainment VIIITrees are ubiquitous in natural environment and realistic models of tree are also indispensable in computer graphics and virtual reality domains. However, their complexity in geometry and topology make it a great challenge for photo-realistic tree ...
3D Tree Models Reconstruction from a Single Image
ISDA '06: Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications - Volume 02Due to their geometric complexity, reconstructing 3D tree models is a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose an approach to reconstruct 3D tree models using only a single image of trees without leaves, which is segmented from the background. ...
Approximating the selected-internal Steiner tree
In this paper, we consider a variant of the well-known Steiner tree problem. Given a complete graph G=(V,E) with a cost function c:E->R^+ and two subsets R and R^' satisfying R^'@?R@?V, a selected-internal Steiner tree is a Steiner tree which contains (...
