WHAT YOU ARE SEEING

Evidence beneath the appearance.

Source use: non-commercial research and teaching by authorized University of Idaho faculty, students and staff. Commercial use requires UIEF approval.

The continuous viewer uses public 2019 lidar terrain and prior modeled single-tree inventory. Road driving follows the visually adjusted mapped centerlines at 0–20 mph, with a 6.9 ft viewing height. Junctions use matching coordinates and endpoint connections within 2 meters. Connectivity, road condition and motorized access are unverified. Raw point-cloud inspection and the earlier example scenes have been retired. TLS not loaded; no RGB point-cloud data loaded. Species, dimensions and ecological refinements remain predictions; crown bases, plants and debris are illustrative.
