Forest Scanner app es una aplicación compatible con IPhone 12 y 13 pro que permite realizar levantamientos de inventarios forestales de alta precisión mediante el sensor LiDAR integrado a la cámara. Esto puede optimizar recursos y tiempos en esta labor #ForestScanner#Carbon
Depends a bit on the scale of the project. We use forestscanner, the 3d scanner app (which we use most) and sitescape. An optimal app with all features helpful for specimen collection remains yet to be programmed!
Hey #ScienceTwitter: Has anyone used the lidar sensor on iphones/ipads w/apps like #ForestScanner or @Scaniverse for getting tree/shrub biomass estimates? Hoping to export point clouds for analysis but not having much luck.
Q: How accurate is ForestScanner in mapping trees?
> In terms of relative coordinates, R2 = 0.99 compared with MapStar Impulse 200.
ForestScanner uses the iPhone/iPad's built-in IMU and a customized correction algorithm developed by @yamaguchi_mapry to achieve high accuracy.

First outing with #arborealforest and #forestscanner, lidar based dbh measurements on phone! Both seem to be working well on a rainy Argyll day, much quicker than tapes, calipers. Thanks @ShinichiTatsumi
#ForestScanner RELEASED!
ForestScanner, an iPhone/iPad application for LiDAR-baed tree measurement, is now available at the App Store for FREE!
Developed in collaboration with @yamaguchi_mapry
I had a lot of fun trying the new ForestScanner app by @yamaguchi_mapry and @ShinichiTatsumi. This was done in a spruce stand. It uses the iPad Pro LiDAR and the results are quite impressive. I haven’t cross-validates the results yet but I am confident they should be good.
