| Sumario: | The management of commercial forest plantations implies knowing and constantly monitoring the dynamics of both the complete plantation and each tree that integrates it. Specific data management needs often arise, such as the creation of point grids that fit the specific designs of various forest plantations. The objective of this work is the definition of a standard process for obtaining the coordinates of individual trees in a commercial forest plantation. As a result of this methodology, a list of coordinates is generated, each corresponding to a point on the grid. For this, a series of equations based on geometric calculations of triangles were applied, which were adjusted according to the angle of inclination of the plantation, with respect to the north, based on the coordinates of a known check point. The application of this methodology facilitates obtaining the coordinates of each of the trees, which can be complemented with databases with the characteristics of the trees. Finally, this methodology does not only create a grid, but the coordinates of each of the intersection points are obtained directly. |
