Comparison of wood measurement methods and conversion factors for Scots pine

This dataset contains stack and log volume measurements for Scots pine assortments collected in July 2021 near Gadow (Prignitz), NE Germany (53.08080, 11.62452). Several measurement methods were applied: harvester log measurement (harvester), opto-electronic log measurement (sawmill), manual sectional volumetric measuring method for stacks (RVR), adapted sectional volumetric measuring method for stacks (RVRprxis), photo-optical stack measurement (FOVEA), and truck load scanning (truck scanning). The data were analyzed in order to i) compare the measurement systems on a one-to-one basis, i.e., to compare the harvester measurement with the opto-electronic measurement at the sawmill; ii) compare the German manual sectional volumetric measurement method according to the Framework agreement for the trade in raw timber in Germany (Rahmenvereinbarung für den Rohholzhandel in Deutschland, RVR) with an adapted sectional volumetric measurement method used in practice (RVRprxis), and an app-based photo-optical system; iii) compare the manual sectional volumetric measurement method with an electronic measurement system for truck loads for industrial timber assortments and iv) derive conversion factors for converting the gross volumes of timber stacks to the volume of solid wood under bark.
