3D-graph
IMPORTANT: 3D-graph is only available if this module is unlocked. An
instruction how to unlock the module can be found on page 39 in
this handbook.
Concept of the 3D-graph
Since 3D-graphs are difficult to visualize on the screen, ARBOTOM
®
uses axial
and cross-sectional sections through the trunk or branch. For a reliable three-
dimensional scanning you should use at least 16 sensors. The 3D-graph
provides two independent axial sections and three cross-sections. The positions
of these sections can be turned and shifted within the range of investigation.
Thus, any layer possible can be viewed, except diagonal layers. Axial and cross-
sectional cuts do not affect each other.
