  • In this study was implemented to develop tree stem weight prediction equation of Larix kaempferi in central region by selecting a standard site, taking into account of diameter and position of the local trees. Fifty five sample trees were selected in total. By utilizing actual data of the sample trees, 11 models were compared and analyzed in order to estimate four different kinds of weights which include fresh weight, ovendry outside bark weight, ovendry inside bark weight and merchantable weight. As to estimate its weight, the study has classified its model according to three parameters: DBH, DBH and height, and volume. The optimal model was chosen by comparing the performance of model using the fit index and standard error of estimate and residual distribution. As a result, the formula utilizing DBH (Variable 1) is $W=a+bD+cD^2$ (3) and its fit index was 90~92%. The formula for DBH and height (Variable 2) is $W=aD^bH^C$ (8) and its fit index was 97~98%. In summation, Variable 2 model showed higher fitness than Variable 1 model. Moreover, fit index of formula for total volume and merchantable volume (W=aV) showed high rate of 98~99%, as well as resulting 7.7-17.5 with SEE and 8.0-10.0 with CV(%) which lead to predominately high fitness in conclusion. This study is expected to provide information on weights for single trees and furthermore, to be used as a basic study for weight of stand unit and biomass estimation equations.

  • This study was conducted to provide data and stem information to establish a local volume table of Cryptomeria japonica in Jeju Island. Stem analysis was performed on 26 trees by selecting two average trees from each site of the 13 plots of C. japonica stands in 2021 and 2022. During the analysis stage, one outlier tree was rejected, and a total of 260 observations of the specific stem height of 25 trees were used. Of the seven major taper equation models applied for parameter estimation and statistical verification, the Muhairwe 1999 model was found to be the best fit and selected as the optimal model. Stem shape-related estimates were acquired through the selected model, and sectional measurements according to the Smalian formula applied at an interval of 10 cm from the height of the stem were used to develop a volume table. A paired t-test comparison between the C. japonica volume obtained from the present study and those selected from the current yield table by NIFoS(2020), revealed significant differences (p<0.05), highlighting the necessity of a local volume table for C. japonica in Jeju Island.

  • Drone images with high spatial resolution are emerging as an alternative to previous studies with extraction limits in high density forests. Individual tree in the dense forests were extracted from drone images. To detect the individual tree extracted through the image segmentation process, the image segmentation results were compared between the combination of DSM and all R,G,B band and the combination of DSM and R,G,B band separately. The changes in the tree density of a deciduous forest was experimented by time and image. Especially the image of May when the forests are dense, among the images of March, April, May, the individual tree extraction rate based on the trees surveyed on the site was 50%. The analysis results of the width of crown showed that the RMSE was less than 1.5m, which was the best result. For extraction of the experimental area, the two sizes of medium and small trees were extracted, and the extraction accuracy of the small trees was higher. The forest tree volume and forest biomass could be estimated if the tree height is extracted based on the above data and the DBH(diameter at breast height) is estimated using the relational expression between crown width and DBH.

  • In this paper, physical properties and electrical characteristics of linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) films blended with ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA), containing polar groups within it, were investigated to improve defects of polyethylene(PE) such like space charge accumulation and tree growth. Blending method changes super-structure of LLDPE, having a great influence on electrical characteristics. For analysis of physical properties, FTIR, XRD and DSC methods were executed, and for electrical characteristics, volume resistivity and dielectric strength were measured with the varying temperature. From the results, it is confirmed that bled specimens tend to be safe to varying temperature, and specially of 70:30 and 50:50 have a good performance.

  • 볼륨 가시화(volume visualization)는 3차원 볼륨 데이터로부터 의미 있는 가시적 정보를 추출하도록 도와주는 연구분야이다. 볼륨 렌더링(volume rendering)은 볼륨 데이터로부터 영상(image)을 얻는 기술을 말하는데, 이러한 렌더링 기법 중 물체공간(object space)에 기반한 스플래팅(splatting) 기법은 볼륨 데이터에 존재하는 응집성(coherence)의 이점을 이용할 수 있는 팔진트리(octree)나 피라미드(pyramid)와 같은 계층구조를 적용하기 쉽다. 본 논문에서는 볼륨 데이터에 팔진트리를 적용한 기존의 스플래팅 기법에 영상공간(image space)에서의 응집성의 이점을 이용하기 위한 계층구조로 4진트리(quadtree)와 범위트리(range tree)를 적용하는 새로운 스플래팅 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 볼륨 데이터내의 불투명한 복셀(voxel)들에 의해 가려지는 복셀들에 대한 방문을 가능한 한 피함으로써 전체적인 스플래팅의 속도를 향상시킨다. 이 기법은 잘 알려진 팔진트리, 4진트리 그리고 범위트리를 사용함으로써 그 구현이 쉽고, 추가적으로 많은 메모리를 사용하지 않으면서도 렌더링의 속도를 효율적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 기법이다.

  • This study presents a complete octree construction algorithm for 2D depth images obtained from orthogonal face views, which can represent 3D objects exactly. In constructing quadtree, optimal quadtree construction algorithm is applied to depth images for efficient use of memory and reduction of tree construction time. In addition, pseudo-octrees are constructed by using our proposed method, which construct pseudo-octrees according to the resolution value given in each node of constructed quadtree and mapping relation between quadrants and octants. Finally, a complete octree, which represents a 3D object, is constructed by volume intersection with each constructed pseudo-octree. The representation accuracy of a complete octree constructed by our algorithm is investigated by using a 3D display method and a volume ratio method for a complete octree.

  • Background: Species of the genera Eucalyptus, Cupressus, and Pinus are the most widely planted tree species in the country in general and in Chilimo dry Afromontane forest in particular. Eucalyptus covers 90% of the total planted forest area in the country. However, only limited information exists in the country regarding aboveground biomass (AGB), belowground biomass (BGB), growth, and yield. This study was conducted to assess the variables on 25 and 30 years of age for three planted species: Cupressus lusitanica, Eucalyptus saligna, and Pinus patula in Chilimo plantation forest, in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia. A two-times inventory was conducted in 2012 and 2017. A total of nine square sampled plots of 400 ㎡ each, three plots under Cupressus lusitanica, 3 Eucalyptus saligna, and 3 Pinus patula were used for data collection. Data on height, diameter, soil, and tree stumps were collected. Percent C, % N, and bulk density was performed following chemical procedure. Results: The aboveground biomass ranged from 125.76 to 228.67 t C ha-1 and the basal area and number of stems from 3.76 to 25.50 ㎡ ha-1 and 483 to 1175 N ha-1, respectively. The mean annual basal area and volume increment were between 0.97 and 1.20 ㎡ ha-1 year-1 and 10.79 and 16.22 ㎥ ha-1 year-1. Both carbon and nitrogen stock of the planted forest was non-significant among the tree species. Conclusion: The aboveground biomass, growth, and yield significantly varied among the species. Cupressus lusitanica had the highest aboveground biomass, volume, and basal area, while Eucalyptus saligna had the lowest value. To a depth of 1 m, total carbon stored ranged from 130.13 to 234.26 t C ha-1. The total annual carbon sequestration potential was 12,575.18 t CO2 eq. Eucalyptus has the highest carbon stock density and growth rate than other species.

  • Location, height and clear-length of individual tree can be measured directly by LiDAR Remote Sensing, and dbh(diameter at breast height) can be estimated indirectly by tree height measured by LiDAR. In addition, stand volume and stand biomass are computed from estimated growth factors. In this study, each estimated growth factor was compared to the field measurements to validate accuracy. The coefficient of determination of total tree heights was 0.66 for total trees, 0.68 for Pinus koraiensis, 0.66 for Larix leptolepis and 0.60 for Quercus spp. The coefficient of determination of clear-length was 0.79 for total trees, 0.73 for Pinus koraiensis, 0.79 for Larix leptolepis, 0.68 for Quercus spp. The coefficient of determination of dbh predicted was 0.73 for Pinus koraiensis, 0.73 for Larix leptolepis and 0.85 for Quercus spp. Moreover The coefficient of determination of basal area was 0.82 for Pinus koraiensis, 0.92 for Larix leptolepis and 0.95 for Quercus spp. Biomass per ha computed by growth factor using LiDAR was 40,306 dm/ha for Pinus koraiensis, 94,150 tdm/ha for Larix leptolepis and 94,481 tdm/ha for Quercus spp. by species.
