Creating virtual forests from public map dataKappel, Axel, Engman, William January 2022 (has links)
Modern tools in the forest management industry lack the features to properly visualizeforests. This study explores the possibilities of recreating real-world forests in a three-dimensional virtual environment to give users the opportunity to remotely view whattheir forest looks like. To keep accessibility high, public map data was used. In this studya proof-of-concept application was developed in Unity using Mapbox’s SDK. Theaccuracy of the virtual world was then evaluated by comparing it to photographs fromthe real world and a point cloud render. Furthermore, performance was evaluated bymeasuring load times and frame rates when the application ran. The results show that itis possible to create a forest that resembles the real one when viewed from afar, butdetails such as individual tree positions and tree species were inaccurate. High-endcomputers with dedicated graphics card ran the application efficiently, while low-endhardware struggled.
