Biome vs HeightCzech

Biome is a mobile app that turns your phone into a powerful field tool for measuring trees. Use Lidar and AI to measure diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, and identify species. No tape, no clinometer, no manual notes! Designed for smallholders, researchers, and carbon project developers, Biome helps you collect accurate, verifiable field data 10× faster. Features: • Lidar-based DBH and height measurement • Tree segmentation using AI (TreeSeg) • GPS-stamped plot data • Offline mode for remote fieldwork • Export raw measurements for carbon MRV workflows Funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). Tested and validated in real reforestation projects. *Requires device with LIDAR sensor (e.g. iPhone 12 Pro+)

HeightCzech is a simple mobile tool for measuring tree height using your smartphone. The application uses the phone camera together with internal motion sensors (gyroscope and accelerometer) to estimate the height of a tree from a known distance. The measurement can be performed directly in the field without the need for additional forestry instruments. The app is designed for foresters, students, researchers and anyone interested in practical forest measurements. Main features: • Measure tree height using the smartphone camera • Simple aiming at the base and top of the tree • Height calculation using phone sensors • Clear and fast interface suitable for field work • Works offline without internet connection HeightCzech demonstrates how modern smartphones can support traditional forestry measurements in a simple and accessible way.
