Cruise Angle iCMT vs LidarCad

The Cruise Angle iCMT app can turn your iPad, iPod or iPhone into an angle gauge for selecting sample trees for timber cruising. When using the point sampling method for timber inventory, the forester first determines a suitable Basal Area Factor (BAF) for the timber stand. Then the corresponding angle gauge is used to select the sample trees. At each sampling point, the forester scans the trees through the opening of the angle gauge. Any tree that completely fills the opening is deemed a sample tree. From the tally of sample trees, one can obtain the basal area per acre. Instead of bringing along a few angle gauges, you could just as well use the Cruise Angle iCMT app on your iOS mobile device to pick the sample trees. Cruise Angle iCMT will enable you to do the following: * Work with Metric and English measurement units. * Calibrate the gauge or enter the camera FOV angle value. * Change the color and transparency of the on-screen angle gauge. * Select from a list of the commonly used BAF values. * Tally the sample trees for a point. * View the Basal Area per Acre for a point. * Check borderline trees based on limiting distance calculation. * Calculate the actual stem length of a leaning tree. * Convert between horizontal distance and slope distance. * Measure distances on the displayed Map. * Measure an area on the displayed Map. The Node tool provided by Cruise Angle iCMT will let you drop nodes precisely to delineate a line or an area to view the measurement value. You could also add your GPS location as a node. Please note: Location data depends on the GPS receiver used. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The app will let you easily toggle the built-in GPS on or off. This app comes with a built-in help file.

LidarCad combines CAD Editor and LiDAR Scanner into one Application. With LidarCad it is easy to estimate volumes of sand or gravel, capture point clouds, measure length, area and so on. LidarCad works with DWG/DXF files. Results can be exported to other popular formats. Scan functionality available on LiDAR-enabled devices. It includes: * Estimate cut/fill volumes using base plane * Estimate cut/fill using limited boundary * Capture point clouds * Add points with XYZ(WGS) coordinates * Define CS Origin for scan * Measure length/area Full description and manuals available on page: http://cadspace.xyz/Features/ CAD editor contains tools to create Drawings. It supports connection to your bluetooth rangefinder. Measurements transmitted directly to drawing, it is possible to set exact length for selected line, or add text with transmitted value. This is a list of supported devices: * Bosch GLM50C, GLM100C, GLM120C * Bosch PLR30C, PLR40C, PLR50C * Leica DISTO D110, D1, D2 * Leica DISTO D510, D810, S910 * Leica DISTO X3, D8 * Condtrol Vector Rangefinders For devices without LiDAR sensor full functional CAD editor available.
