i-Tree v3.x :: RE: GPS not working with I-Tree

Author: azelaya
Subject: Windows 7 phone O/S - not compatible
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2012 3:58 pm (GMT -5)
Topic Replies: 7

Unfortunately, there is not a work-around to get a non-compatible device to work with the i-Tree PDA application. Alternatively, you may want to consider advice posted from Jerry on this topic http://forums.itreetools.org/viewtopic.php?t=659&highlight=pda in which he recommends using forms on your non-compatible device to collect field data that will allow information to be exported out as and Excel spreadsheet. Data can then be imported into Streets if data formatting is set up properly.

The Windows 7 phone O/S requires a complete rewrite of the current PDA application code. Therefore, future development will be focusing on creating an online system that will allow any device/smartphone/tablet/notebook/toughbook with internet connectivity to be used for field data collection. More details on this will be coming in the upcoming months as testing & development progresses.

yes, some i-Tree applications allow for collecting locations with a GPS coordinates (Streets & Eco) but there is not a mapping function available at this time. Users have the option to export out data and use it as they desire or as you described in ArcGIS. The i-Tree Tools are primarily designed to be assessment tools and not asset management tools. As such, the i-Tree Tools are complimentary to traditional tree inventory tools which are more likely to have integrated mapping functions.

With the addition of the Pest Detection module in these applications and Google maps access, etc, this functionality integration may be considered in future updates. Al

i-Tree v4.x :: RE: Eco - problem with shrub height

Hi Al,

thank you once again for all explanations and your invaluable help.

Change of the computer settings solved all my problems and it turned out that a simple closing/re-opening of the Eco application resulted in all commas being changed into decimals (in the DBH and other values I entered earlier on).
That is why I had edited my previous post so as not to bother you with the DBH problem since the application solved it for me, but as I can see you got both versions of my post

Big thanks and best regards,
Gerona

Several issues have been identified in i-Tree Hydro which are causing errors with pollutant EMC values and units in Hydro v4.0.3 & i-Tree v4.1.5. The Hydro Developers will be issuing a new update to address these issues. Details of the Hydro issues can be viewed in the bugtracker system at the following links:

i-Tree v4.x :: Vue 4.0.0 clipped image area discrepancy

Author: azelaya
Subject: Vue 4.0.0 clipped image area discrepancy
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2011 4:07 pm (GMT -5)
Topic Replies: 0

During recent testing, we discovered an issue with i-Tree Vue version 4.0.0 - i-Tree v4.1.5 causing a discrepancy in the image area calculation for a clipped NLCD image brought into Vue. This is causing subsequent errors in Vue's overall canopy & impervious cover estimations. The issue has been identified and will be resolved and made available in the next i-Tree update release.
Thank you,
Al

Tips & Tricks :: How to collect i-Tree Streets data on Android platform

Author: Jerry
Subject: How to collect i-Tree Streets data on Android platform
Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2011 9:34 am (GMT -5)
Topic Replies: 0

I created a simple data collection form for any device running the Android platform. This form is very simple in design ATM: no device info, no timestamps, no required fields, no logic, no images, no backend server setup. The objective here is to allow individuals (and perhaps even the i-Tree Team?) to test the capabilities of the open-source software collection known as Open Data Kit.

One of the great advantages of using Android phones for data collection is that ODK makes it easy to establish a project with multiple data collectors where data is uploaded to a common server and materials can be pushed to all cooperating devices. Also GPS and camera are available as simple fields, since both devices are built into Android.

Click to download data collection form for Android devices

To use it:

Install the free app ODK Collect from Market
Download the "Data collector for Android devices" ZIP file from the page linked above
Unzip it, and copy the form to /sdcard/odk/forms/
Open ODK Collect and tap on Fill Blank Form

Data collected can be found on the device in /sdcard/odk/instances/ as a timestamped *.xml file.

As a consultant, of course, I would be happy to work with anyone interested in using this method for a project.

The Water Pollution Reports table column are displaying values in g/hr and not kg as indicated in Hydro v4.0.3. In addition, Median & Mean values for some pollutants are reporting the same values and will be updated to report properly in the next upgrade. Thanks to Yobunker and the VT Team for helping to identify these issues.

i-Tree Streets can provide similar information but requires you install software and configure a project for data entry.

That website was easy.
I did install the software, so I will attempt to do it as well in the iTree Streets model as well....if I can figure it out. My list will be specific to street trees, so that might provide more valuable data.

The issue yobunker encountered was caused by the top few lines of their DEM file. The DEM file must be edited by hand to match the following:

Code:

[(Arbitrary) DEM name]
ncols 1052
nrows 1033
cellsize 1
NODATA_value -9999
-9999 -9999 etc...

The xllcorner and yllcorner lines must be removed and a name for the DEM must be added.

i-Tree Storm, formerly the storm damage assessment protocol, has a hurricane adaptation for estimating woody debris from an event. In addition to the Storm User's Manual http://www.itreetools.org/resources/manuals.php, there are several articles which discuss the development, methods and limitations in detail in the Resources - Archives section of the website. http://www.itreetools.org/resources/archives.php See information under the i-Tree Storm SDAP drop down.

There was also an i-Tree Storm webinar which is archived at the following link http://www.unri.org/webcasts/itree/i-tree-online-workshops-video-archive/ Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the June 2nd session.
