MBPJ Arboplanner displays open-data tree inventories made for Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) by Arboribus Databases SDN. BHD. This webpage is developed and maintained by Arboribus Databases SDN. BHD. for demonstration of tree mapping services an development purposes. It is currently not endorsed by MBPJ and does not necessarily reflect MBPJ's vision or strategy for landscape management.
Aim
Sharing geographic information in inter-operable and open-data standards creates evidence for stakeholders to achieve socially and ecologically integrated tree landscapes. Evidence-based landscape planning addresses optimal landscape maintenance as well as goals for public awareness and biodiversity conservation.
Non-endorsement
Geographic information displayed on this website has no legal status and should not be used in a way suggesting that MBPJ, Arboribus Databases SDN. BHD. or other participants endorse users or the use they made of it. Information providers are not liable for possible errors or omissions and shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage of any kind caused by its use.

Photogrammetry reference points were set by total station. RTK-GPS coordinates were post-processed against MyRTKnet. Web-maps are in EPSG:3857. A DEM Geotiff in WGS 1984 (EPSG:4326) is available here. Data has no legal value.
This map indicates where ecological connections may improve the integrity and resilience of man-made
and natural ecosystems
High resolution terrain views allow the recognition of tree positions and growth conditions.
Pictures of the soil below tree canopy are taken with a camera mounted on a pole.
These pictures are computer-aligned and transformed into an orthoscopic and georeferenced terrain view.
Camera on a pole
Georeferenced 256 x 256 pixels tiles of terrain view can be downloaded at:
http://soilt.arboribus.org/mbsa/z/xtile/ytile.png
z = Google map zoom level ranging from 15 to 24
xtile = n * ((lon_deg + 180) / 360)
ytile = n * (1 - (log(tan(lat_rad) + sec(lat_rad)) / π)) / 2
n = 2 ^ z
lon_deg = longitude of a point in the tile in degree
lat_rad = latitude of a point in the tile in radians

If you wish developing your own application with a frequent use of terrain view tiles, you should store tiles on your own file server. For further information you may contact: jean_weber31@hotmail.com
