​
Unlock the potential of agricultural management and precision forestry
Main forestry applications:
Operations Monitoring
Map and monitor deforestation and other activities.
Prediction of biophysical variables
Plant species/crop detection
Automated tree counting
Forest fire impact assessment
​
Monitor destructive activity, track remediation projects, and measure changes to the natural environment.
Land cover classification
Monitor environmental impact and improve land management with highly accurate land cover classification.
Forest cover monitoring
Monitor forest cover to monitor changes and accurately estimate area at a glance.
Deforestation monitoring
Remotely monitor deforestation in your areas of interest.
Reforestation evaluation
Monitor the efforts dedicated to reforestation, remotely evaluating the success of reforestation.
Classification of tree species
Identify tree species remotely for ecological assessment of the area and improved forest management.
Monitoring forest health
Monitor changes in the conditions of forest stands and make better decisions.
Evaluation of the burned area
Estimate forest damage due to fire at a glance and help recover the environment.
Forest Cover Monitoring
Check past and present data for your forest stands to detect changes in forest cover within your area(s) of interest (AOI).
Deforestation Monitoring
Obtain information on the extent of deforested areas within your forest masses to:
-
Identify illegal logging.
-
Assess damage caused by natural disasters, such as hurricanes or fires.
-
Analyze historical logging activities.
-
Estimate economic losses derived from deforestation.
Reforestation Monitoring
Identify land cover changes, monitor tree growth and replanted areas to coordinate forest reforestation efforts, and support green initiatives to combat erosion and preserve biodiversity.
Tree Species Classification
Identify tree species, such as oaks, birches, pines and many others with up to 80% accuracy to:
-
Classify the tree species in your area(s) of interest.
-
Improve inventory management.
-
Analyze the distribution and coverage of species in your area(s) of interest.
Forest Health Monitoring
Detect changes in forest health from satellite image data. We compare and analyze historical (over 3, 5, 7 years) and current NDVI index values for specific areas. Our reports classify changes in forest health into 11 stages, allowing an overall assessment of health and its changes due to natural phenomena, reforestation activities, etc.
Estimation of Burned Area
Effectively monitor regional and national post-wildfire activities based on the severity of damage in each area. Regardless of whether the fire is small or large, this approach allows you to assess damage and classify affected areas based on the degree of tree burn using pre- and post-fire satellite images to:
Predict the recovery period of forests.
Manage reforestation efforts by area.
Identify areas to remove dead trees.
Biomass Estimation
Estimate forest biomass based on analysis of current and historical data to:
Monitor the forest inventory.
Prepare relevant information to receive carbon credits.
Evaluate forest productivity.
Evaluate wood stocks for purchasing or insurance issues.
Forest Carbon Tracking
Generate carbon stock reports based on biomass estimates to combat global warming and earn carbon credits. Carbon quantity data is measured in megagrams (Mg) and is updated at least once a year to help:
Estimate carbon reserves in forests.
Assess carbon stocks in wood for purchasing or insurance purposes.
Conduct ecological research on land cover carbon stocks.
Supply chain management
Improve supply chain management by monitoring and analyzing deforestation data in your or neighboring forest stands. Use this information to:
Verify compliance with the EUDR regulation.
Distinguish between primary and newly planted forests.
Monitor changes in forest boundaries.
Climate Monitoring
Get detailed weather data, such as temperature, precipitation, radiation, evapotranspiration, wind strength and direction, etc. Use historical analysis and hourly forecast for the next 14 days to:
Plan and adjust activities.
Detect meteorological threats, such as high temperatures and low rainfall, to prevent forest fires.
Thermal Anomaly Detection
Be aware of forest fires in your area to plan your forest management and protection actions if necessary.
Vegetation Monitoring
Perform remote forest health monitoring using NDVI, NDMI, MSAVI, NDRI and REC vegetation indices. Our R&D team can also create custom indices tailored to your particular needs.
Monitoring changes in index values will help you:
Regularly monitor vegetation changes in your forest masses.
Analyze historical data to identify trends in vegetation growth or decline in specific areas.
