The OneOak tree was laser scanned today as part of ongoing research making it one of Britain’s most studied trees.<\/p>\n\n
The laser scanning research was supported by Treemetrics<\/a> and the equipment and work was brought to the site by Leica Geosystems<\/a> and scanning specialists SCCS<\/a>; the foremost provider of innovative solutions in surveying, monitoring, setting out and mapping.\u00a0 SCCS were asked\u00a0 to complete a detailed laser scanned survey of the OneOak tree and surrounding woodland.<\/p>\n The Leica C10 Laser scanner was placed in various ‘stations’ around the tree and in just over 6 minutes at each station the scanner had measured a complete 360 degree field of view.\u00a0 The scanner records close to 50,000 measurements per second that result in a ‘point cloud’.<\/p>\n SCCS will be producing a moving video image of the OneOak tree soon that we will put online on this website.\u00a0 The snapshots above provide a tantalising look at the amazing quality of images available.\u00a0 The data collected has produced a digital record of the tree, including its exact position, volume and many of the required dimensions.\u00a0 The 3D model is accurate to within 2-3 mm.<\/p>\n Watch a video 3D animation of the OneOak laser scan on our YouTube channel For more information on the software\u2019s or processes used please contact Senior Technical Representative david.southam@sccssurvey.co.uk<\/a> and visit the laserscanning forum www.laserscanning.org.uk\/forum\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The OneOak tree was laser scanned today as part of ongoing research making it one of Britain’s most studied trees.
