Forest Agencies sets requirements for existing forest plans for all forests. Today’s inventory methods in the field are in principle completely manual and are based on contractors’ experience, which is very time-consuming and expensive. Aerial photography with lidar is available for volume calculations, however it’s expensive and therefore long time between updates. Laser scanning is also monochrome (point cloud) which is why important information is lost and before/after documentation is, for forest measures, in principle impossible.

With AI-based image analysis we are able to identify individual trees, their position, their species, stand height and forest density.
