Limiting Factors. Development of the canopy height model, and measuring the diameters of the individual tree objects is very time consuming. This processing took several weeks for the Mashel watershed. The inclusion of the Canopy Height Model (CHM) radius and diameter information as possible metrics for the model did increase the accuracy, but not by a substantial amount. The additional processing time may not be worth the accuracy improvement. This will need to be determined based on available project budget and goals.
