Why is the Off-Line Analysis done by TreeRadar Personnel?
We believe this is presently the best approach for several reasons. The TreeWin software module is in a regular mode of upgrade, so having only one copy on one server eliminates the problem of users regularly having to install upgrades and insures a uniformity of analysis. Also, the reflected radar waveforms from internal tree trunk conditions are complex and experience with signal processing techniques and software is important for accurate interpretation of these waveforms. Experience gained by regularly performing analyses provides TreeRadar personnel with insight for ways to improve both the algorithms and the program.
