(2021). <em>Forest Line Mapper: A tool for enhanced delineation and attribution of linear disturbances in forests</em> [Computer software]. Calgary, AB, Canada.</p>\n<p><strong>Purpose / Description</strong>\nFLM 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).</p>\n<p><strong>Motivation</strong>\nGiven 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.</p>\n<p><strong>Development History</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>November, 2021: V1.2 Release Candidate public release, beta test, and this online documentation by [<strong>Richard Zeng</strong>]</li>\n<li>February, 2020: Beta public release, beta test, and this online documentation by <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/guslq/\"><strong>Gustavo Lopes Queiroz</strong></a>.</li>\n<li>November, 2019: Workflow overhaul (least cost corridor &amp; multiprocessing) by <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/guslq/\"><strong>Gustavo Lopes Queiroz</strong></a>.</li>\n<li>November, 2018: First version in Arcpy by <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/silvia-losada/\"><strong>Silvia Losada</strong></a>.</li>\n<li>May, 2018: Initial concept (least cost path with ArcGIS model builder) by <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-cole-b3009551/\"><strong>Sarah Cole</strong></a> and <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerome-cranston-551058142/\"><strong>Jerome Cranston</strong></a>.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Changelogs</strong>\nThere are major changes to the tools:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>File based approach is switched to memeory based to speedup the processing</li>\n<li>ArcGIS Desktop is no longer supported.
