PiCUS Sonic Tomograph

The PiCUS Sonic Tomograph is used for detailed road safety examinations on trees in order to assess the inner condition of trunks with hollows or fungi. Sonic tomographic measurements are particularly common in the area near the base of trees, additionally PiCUS Sonic Tomograms also provide valuable information on pruning wounds and branch forks when diagnosing trees.

A 2D image is calculated from the measured speeds and geometrical information on the measuring level.

The graphic representation displays areas with different transit times in different colors. In this way, not only can a distinction be made between intact and defective, but gradations in the degree of decomposition can also be recognized.

The associated PiCUS-Expert-Software enables the creation of 3D graphics using different tomographic measuring levels. This allows the spread of the damage to be shown vividly and inserted into a photo of the tree.
