With diameter measurement , the application counts the number of logs in the pile giving the average diameter and even logs the diameter separately and the volume in cubic meters . Diameters can be filtered , for example , to see only the amount from 15 to 25cm .
Pile density measurement enables you to determine the density coefficient for pulp and fuelwood . Solution also gives the answer on the number of logs , diameters and the average diameter of the measured area .
All the data regarding the measurement ( size , location , date and time ) specifications are stored with the picture . The data is stored in a cloud service and can be easily analysed or forwarded .
