The goal of Vpalmr is to ease the process of making virtual palm plants from field data.
The data preparation, the models and all details are described in the PhD of R. Perez and the subsequent articles (Perez et al. 2016; Perez 2017; Perez, Costes, et al. 2018; Perez, Dauzat, et al. 2018; Perez et al. 2017)
