Abstract

A simple, inexpensive method for estimating linear tree dimensions is described and tested. The method is based on a visual overlap of two images, namely, the tree to be estimated and a group of length scales incorporated on a colour slide. Additional advantages of the proposed method include accuracy, application by one person only and both vertical and horizontal estimating capabilities.
