Abstract

One variation of a method includes: accessing a boundary of a stand of trees; defining an array of scan zones within the boundary; accessing a first sequence of images representing treetops in a first scan zone; accessing a second sequence of images representing bases of trees in the first scan zone; accessing a third sequence of images representing bases of trees in a second scan zone; accessing a fourth sequence of images representing treetops in the second scan zone; interpolating canopy characteristics of trees between the first scan zone and the second scan zone based on the first and fourth sequences of images; interpolating lower tree characteristics of trees between the first scan zone and the second scan zone based on the second and third sequences of images; and compiling canopy and lower tree characteristics into a virtual representation of tree characteristics across the stand of trees.
