TERN has developed a procedure for taking photopoints that has been applied at all TERN Ecosystem Surveillance sites. The method allows their use as traditional photopoints and enables basal area to be extracted from the photography of each site. Seamless site panoramas are also available, along with point cloud data (similar to that used by Lidar).
Chapter four of the TERN AusPlots Rangelands Survey Protocols Manual details the procedure for collecting photopoints.
