Fig. 11From: Comparison of conventional eight-point crown projections with LIDAR-based virtual crown projections in a temperate old-growth forestTheoretical comparison of typical eight-point crown projections with fixed angles (upper two rows) and flexible angles (lower two rows), each applied to a hypothetical asymmetric crown shape with non-central stem position and a concave crown shape with central stem position. The crown silhouette on the left-hand side is approximated by the octagon on the right-hand side using the shown projectionsBack to article page
