Very high-resolution satellites provide a new approach to forestry customers by offering them an alternative to direct on-site inspection or expensive aerial photography.
Panchromatic and multispectral data from EUSI can be beneficial in for detecting early signs of tree stress as well as assessing and managing tree stand inventories. The images show detailed features such as trees, buildings and trucks, and can even help pinpoint precise problem growing areas in a tree stand. Multispectral (color) digital images can be displayed to include the near-infrared band to allow quantitative analysis of tree vigor. From mitigating drought to battling pest infestations, our coverage and revisit capabilities give forest managers and arboriculturists the current information they need to make sound decisions for the future of their resources.
The users and potential customers include:
- Forestry consultants
- National and state forestry associations
- Paper companies
- Timber companies
