Abstract
A method includes constructing a three-dimensional model of a front side of a row of trees based on a plurality of images of the front side of the row of trees and constructing a three-dimensional model of a back side of the row of trees based on a plurality of images of the back side of the row of trees. The three-dimensional model of the front side of the row of trees is merged with the three-dimensional model of the back side of the row of trees by linking a trunk in the three-dimensional model of the front side to a trunk in the three-dimensional model of the back side to form a merged three-dimensional model of the row of trees. The merged three-dimensional model of the row of trees is used to determine a physical attribute of the row of trees.
