Scanning at Tumbarumba

Our team from CSIRO recently we visited the TERN supersite at Tumbarumba in NSW to complete two days of scanning with DWEL. 
The Tumbarumba site is located in the Bago State forest in south eastern New South Wales. The forest is classified as wet sclerophyll, the dominant species is Eucalyptus delegatensis, and average tree height is 40 m. Elevation of the site is 1200 m and mean annual precipitation is 1000 mm. 
The mission at Tumbarumba was to scan 9 locations with DWEL (aka Super Echidna) that have been scanned using the original Echidna in previous years gone by. We were successfully able to locate all of the original scanning locations (even in the snow) and the scans were a huge success, a sample is displayed below.
While on-site, we also established a core 1 ha for TERN Supersites, a plot that will be completely inventoried, with tree DBH's, hemispherical photography, LAI and other vegetation structural measurements paving the way for potentially of many DWEL scanning trips to come.

  1. There are so many advantages of 3D laser scanning service. One of the best advantages of 3D laser scanning is, it can increase the benefits of your business. Because it can reduce the cost of product manufacturing and save manufacturing time. Best 3D laser scanning Grand Prairie, Alberta
