The present study aimed to show the results of Acacia mangium volumetric estimates obtained through the Schumacher and Hall model compared to the methods of artificial neural networks and support vector machines. To enable this comparative analysis, we used data from 31 trees of Acacia mangium aged 14–17, from a stand located in the northern region of the state of Amapá. Diameter and bark thickness of the trees were measured into relative heights along the stem into 14 sections (0.05%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 95%), with measurement. Total volume with bark was obtained by applying the Smalian formula. In general, the methods that differ from traditional methods showed statistically superior results. |
