Description
Antoine Plumacker and co-authors test cheap drone photos in a 2026 study of rainforest crowns. To watch a forest at land scale, teams must bridge ground counts and space reads. Drone photos can fill that gap, but each crown-cut tool gives its own tale of the same trees.
The team ran three such tools on fine photos over a vast span of forest. One is a taught tree finder, one a broad cut tool, and one a blend of the two. Crown marks were set side by side for their match. Forest teams gain a check on which crown facts stay true no matter the tool.
