| Abstract | |
To plan, manage and study the trees in a forest, a plantation or a city it\'s necessary to know both their individual characteristics as the characteristics of their surroundings. The inventory is a widely used tool for this purpose and demand investment in time and resources for its realization. The emergence of new technologies for recording and analyzing data allows a new perspective on this tool and brings innovations to its application. This study compared five urban forest diagnosis methods mainly differentiated by data collection technology: Classic: using pen and paper, Photo: with pictures measurement in software ImageTool, Tablet and Tablet 2: using different tablet technology and Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) with use of an iPAQ. The results showed that there is statistical difference in the time of completion of the inventory according to the technology employed. Photo method is the fastest and the cheapest of 5. The biometric comparison by Wilcoxon shows that the values obtained by all methods are statistically equivalent. An experiment was also performed to validate the method Photo and investigated the influence of photo distance in measured values, where the results show that there is influence, but it is not significant and the measurement by photo as reliable as measurement per Vertex.
