Tree

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.

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).
