Nowadays, we still need to know every link in the production chain to optimize it by reducing costs and allocating resources to develop essential segments. WinSCANOPY is a system that analyses tree canopy through image analysis. This work aims to present the influence of the planting system and the fruit tree species on specific canopy parameters (foliar index, direct, diffuse, and total radiation) by monitoring the canopy projection in an apple and quince orchard. A secondary objective consisted of studying the canopy developing dynamic during a growing season in the analyzed species. The results compare the parameters monitored on the four sides of the trees (North, East, South, and West) in three moments of the day and five series in the vegetable season.
