Applied Geospatial Research Group. (2021). &lt;em&gt;Forest Line Mapper: A tool for enhanced delineation and attribution of linear disturbances in forests&lt;/em&gt; [Computer software]. Calgary, AB, Canada.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Purpose / Description&lt;/strong&gt;
FLM is a series of script tools for facilitating the high-resolution mapping and studying of forest lines via processing canopy height models (raster images where pixel-values represent the ground-height of vegetation).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Motivation&lt;/strong&gt;
Given that the process of manually digitizing detailed small-scale (boreal) forest lines is slow and prone to human error, a semi-automated solution is preferred for large-scale application areas. Additionally, high-resolution CHMs allow for improved forest line spatial analysis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Development History&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Changelogs&lt;/strong&gt;
There are major changes to the tools:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;File based approach is switched to memeory based to speedup the processing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS Desktop is no longer supported. ArcGIS Pro is the only platform supported now.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
