Smartphone-based Circular Plot Sampling for Forest Inventory

•
ArXi:2605.19213v1 Announce Type: new Circular sample plots are a cornerstone of forest inventory, yet accurate measurement of tree diameter at breast height (DBH) and spatial location within such plots remains challenging. Conventional approaches rely either on costly terrestrial LiDAR systems or labor-intensive manual methods involving calipers and compass bearings, limiting their scalability and accessibility in large scale environments.
