Main Features
- 2D Flat View (Virtual Trench): Provides a detailed view of root location and depth along the scan line, similar to what would be seen in a real trench.
- 3D Top View (Virtual Excavator): Shows root arrangement and density at any selected depth, offering a detailed top-down view.
Advantages
- Non-invasive: Does not require digging or moving soil, preserving the tree and the environment.
- Portable: Battery-operated, making it easy to transport and use in various locations.
- Minimal Preparation: Quick and easy setup, allowing for rapid scanning and data collection.
- Quick Scan: Fully covers the area within 30-60 minutes.
- Penetration Depth: Effective to a depth of 39 inches (1 meter).
- Versatility: Can scan over open or covered ground, including concrete, asphalt, and tile.
- High Resolution Images: Creates detailed images of underground structural roots.
- Flexible Scanning Options: Allows scanning in parallel straight lines or concentric circles/semicircles.
- City Compatibility: Suitable for use in tight urban areas.
- Convenient Use: Designed for ease of use, providing accurate and fast results.
Application
- Tree Stability Assessment: Determine the safety and stability of trees by assessing the structure and condition of roots.
- Urban Forestry: To check roots in urban areas without disrupting infrastructure.
- Construction Planning: Assess potential root impacts before construction to avoid damage.
- Environmental Research: To study root systems in ecological and geomorphological studies.
