Boilerplate (cut and paste)
ShelterMetrics is a free web tool that measures shelterbelt and windbreak porosity from a side-on photograph, using the standard Cornelis & Gabriels (2005) optical method. It returns a per-photo confidence score, a heatmap of dense and open zones, and a branded PDF report. Built for UK farmers, agroforestry consultants, agronomists and researchers, the tool is free for 20 photos a month, no card required. sheltermetrics.org
