Repeatability of UrbanCrowns estimates of crown volume and density for sugar maple (Acer saccharum) photographed at four horizontal distances equal to multiples (1.5×, 2.0×, 2.5×, 3.0×) of their individual heights. *, **, ***, and **** denote average absolute differences between paired photo distance intervals that are significantly greater than 0%, 1%, 5%, and 10%, respectively (n = 10 per interval).
