I've been slowly putting together a set of notes on analysing 
forest canopy photos to measure canopy structure. Most of the guide 
is focussed on hemispherical photography, but much of the 
processing chain can be used to analyse digital cover photos taken 
with a conventional camera as well. I use a combination of ImageJ, 
R, and shell scripting to analyse the images. I also provide some 
thoughts on how to take good hemispherical photos in the field, and 
an ideal set of equipment. The notes can be found in this Github 
repository.
