Abstract

A system assists during execution of a sequence of cuttings in a tree, wherein, during a cutting sequence, a first cut in the tree is followed by a second cut in the tree At least a part of an ideal course of the second cut depends on at least a part of a course of the first cut. An identification device identifies at least the part of the course of the first cut in the tree. A precalculation device precalculates at least the part of the ideal course of the second cut in the tree based on the identified part of the course of the first cut. An output device outputs cutting information for executing the second cut based on the precalculated part of the ideal course of the second cut.
