  • Publication number: 20240074365
    Abstract: There is provided maintaining, at a network service operatively connected to a logging machine, master forest resource information, wherein the master forest resource information comprises prediction cells for product yield over a work area or a set of work areas, receiving, at the network service from the logging machine, logging machine measurements associated with the work area or the set of work areas, associating, at the network service, the received logging machine measurements to at least one prediction cell of the master forest resource information, determining, at the network service, based on the received logging machine measurements, a logging machine product yield for the work area or the set of work areas, modeling, at the network service, a difference between the logging machine product yield and a product yield of the at least one prediction cell, and compensating, at the network service, product yields of prediction cells based on the modeled difference.

  • Patent number: 7212670
    Abstract: A method for efficiently and accurately inventorying image features such as timber, including steps of segmenting digital images into tree stands, segmenting tree stands into tree crowns, each tree crown having a tree crown area, classifying tree crowns based on species, and analyzing the tree crown classification to determine information about the individual tree crowns and aggregate tree stands. The tree crown area is used to determine physical information such as tree diameter breast height, tree stem volume and tree height. The tree crown area is also used to determine the value of timber in tree stands and parcels of land using tree stem volume and market price of timber per species.
