| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A volumetric model of the trunk, branches, and leaves of a large, mature Cinnamomum tree was built from 3D point cloud data obtained via a terrestrial LIDAR survey of the tree. The model was then used to calculate the weight distribution of the tree and the forces exerted on a supporting pole due to the weight of the branch it supported and the force applied to that branch under high wind conditions. Both the branch and the pole were assumed to be static for the calculations. Leaf area was also estimated using transmittance ratios of direct solar radiation under the Cinnamomum canopy. The transmittance data was obtained from a direct pyranometer in an open site and global pyranometers placed under the canopy. However the estimation of leaf area was unsuccessful. Data on leaf inclination angles, and sensor area and data allowing the discrimination of leaves and twigs were thought to be necessary.
