Michael,

Thanks for sharing the details of your graduate project. There was a project conducted by a team at University of Florida which looked at using digital images for Eco data variables which may be of interest to you also. http://www.itreetools.org/eco/resources/IJAEOG%20UF%20Inventory%20aerial%20imagery%20integration.pdf

All the best,
Al

You can enter woody vegetation (trees & shrubs) in i-Tree Eco for something like a green roof but the model is not designed for or capable of differentiating any differences in tree/pollution deposition interaction due to fact that a tree is X stories on top of a building as opposed to planted at ground level.

We have not updated any of the specifications for version 5 as development work on the online collection system is still in progress. We don't anticipate problems with devices such as iPads for data collection as long as it has internet connectivity to access the online collection forms and system being developed.

As in the past, we (the i-Tree Team) will not recommend specific devices but provide information based on user feedback and testing. Please stay tuned as we should have more information in the upcoming weeks.

Thanks,
Al

An automated activation link will be sent to you immediately after registering by email from the info@itreetools.org address allowing you to activate your account by clicking on the link embedded
in the email. You can log on after activating to request a CD or download the software. http://www.itreetools.org/login.php

Account not Active or not receiving the email activation link:

� Check your spam folder.

� Ensure that your firewall or security system will allow you to receive an automated email from info@itreetools.org

� Consult with your IT department for guidance on resolving network or institutional security systems that may prevent an auto-generated email to be accepted.

� The activation link and your registration will expire after 96 hours if not activated. You may attempt to register again after resolving security or communication problems. We can't activate accounts manually for security reasons.

Unable to enter account information:

� Check to ensure that all data required (red asterisk) is filled out properly.

Additional Registration Troubleshooting

� You can test to see if you are already registered and have an active account on the system by filling in your email address and the Captcha Text in the Retrieve Username dialog box on the Forgot Username webpage http://www.itreetools.org/forgot.php

� If you receive an email with your correct username, you have registered successfully on the system and may possibly be using the wrong password. Try to then use the Reset Password dialog box on the Forgot Username webpage above.

Once activated and logged on, select the �Get the Tools� link in the header to download the software or request an installation CD by mail.

Applications and Utilities :: RE: Method Used to Calculate Aesthetic Value in Streets

Author: azelaya
Subject: Method Used to Calculate Aesthetic Value in Streets
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2012 1:04 pm (GMT -5)
Topic Replies: 1

The best place to look for information on methodology used in i-Tree Streets is the USFS Community Tree Guides http://www.fs.fed.us/psw/programs/uesd/uep/tree_guides.php .

Each climate region has a specific guide but the aesthetic benefit methods are common using regional housing values. The following link is to a PDF of the Lower Midwest Guide Appendix3 which discusses aesthetic benefits methods on page 109 & 110. http://www.itreetools.org/streets/resources/USFS_LMW_Tree_Guide_Appendix3.pdf

The link at the bottom of the PDF page is to the Forest Service site where the complete set of Guides can be accessed if you want to explore the original research cited.

i-Tree v4.x :: Issue loading Eco project results EXOTICS.OUT

Author: azelaya
Subject: Issue loading Eco project results EXOTICS.OUT
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2012 9:35 am (GMT -5)
Topic Replies: 0

An issue has been identified by an Eco user when loading results for a sample (plot-based) project. An error message is received regarding the key association of the EXOTICS.OUT output file. The remainder of results output files will typically load but users will not be able to access the Origin of Live Trees table in the Eco reports. This issue will also cause the Eco written report to fail to generate.

The issue has been identified in Eco 4.1.6 , i-Tree v4.1.7 and will be resolved in an update to be issued soon.

Thanks for your cooperation,
Al

New Ideas for i-Tree :: iTree Canopy Suggestions

Author: dddentice
Subject: iTree Canopy Suggestions
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 3:20 pm (GMT -5)
Topic Replies: 0

I just ran Canopy for my community. As a first time user I have the following suggestions:

- To make classification more efficient, make all classes viewable and clickable without having to click the dropdown arrow. Maybe provide buttons in the main window. Otherwise, inform users to choose what they think will be the most common cover type (e.g. grass) as the first class they define. It will cut down on the number of times you have to select the dropdown menu.

- Sometimes the map jumped back to an old location or didn't move to the location of the new point.

- Provide more direction for step 3, such as how to classify the shadow of a tree or building. May not be intuitive to everyone.

- Provide a link to Bing maps as another option for viewing the landscape and verifying a cover class. The bird's eye view is very useful for this.

-Be more clear on the recommended standard error to aim for. My WI DNR colleagues told me 2% was reasonable.

-Provide a Print button for printing the cover report. [/list]

Canopy :: Can Canopy analyze multiple units within a study area?

Author: azelaya
Subject: Can Canopy analyze multiple units within a study area?
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2012 6:01 pm (GMT -5)
Topic Replies: 0

Canopy does not have the functionality to allow for multiple areas to be surveyed simultaneously but you can still use Canopy to analyze individual units within an entire study area. Basically, this is achieved by doing multiple Canopy surveys using the same cover scheme applied to each unit. For example, some Canopy users will survey an entire area such as a city and then also conduct a survey on sub-units within the area such as wards or neighborhoods for comparison.

Although there may be more time and effort involved in comparing cover between areas, a comprehensive survey may be more valuable for planning, management and advocacy. Future versions of Canopy will allow users to save the cover class categories they initially set up for use in subsequent surveys.

The photo interpretation methodology in i-Tree Canopy was originally used by the U.S Forest Service in a GIS system where approximately 1000 points were generated and surveyed within each of 63 regions across the U.S to evaluate National Land Cover Database (NLCD) cover estimations. Methods can be viewed in the following journal article http://www.itreetools.org/vue/resources/HelpVue_Nowak_NLCD.pdf

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.
