Tree: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:57, 6 October 2026

Trees are used and represented in the Tygron Platform the in the following ways:

Trees are generally represented by Buildings, with a Tree Function.
The MultiPolygon stored in a Section of an individual Tree is the tree trunk, not the tree foliage.
The MultiPolygon stored in a Section of a part of a forest is the region where potentially tree trunks are located.
The height of trees is calculated using the difference between the DTM and the DSM during the New Project Wizard phase.
The height of trees is stored in the FLOOR_HEIGHT_M attribute, in amounts of meters.

The following functions for trees and forests exist:

Name	ID	Category	Description
Birch	953	NATURE	The birch tree (genus: Betula) is a deciduous tree. A common birch is the Silver Birch
Default deciduous trees	440	NATURE	Deciduous trees used to increase the amount of greenery within an area

Willow	952	NATURE	The willow (genus: Salix) is a deciduous tree. A common willow tree is the white willow
Wooded bank	963	NATURE	A linear planting of trees and shrubs serving as a natural boundary or windbreak
Fruit Trees	934	AGRICULTURE	Areas dedicated to fruit-bearing tree cultivation.

Tree (building)s and their properties are used in various overlays:

The Heat Stress Overlay (and Shadow Overlay) use Foliage of trees as input, either as:

Foliage can be detected using an Inference Overlay using the Foliage (Neural Network).
