AI Uses 15 cm Satellite Images to Cut Costs and Increase Scalability in Forest Management and Urban Forestry
Forest managers across Europe face an impossible task: monitor millions of hectares with shrinking budgets while meeting increasingly strict EU environmental targets. But with the rise of AI and satellite technology, they now have new solutions at their disposal – smarter, cheaper, and more scalable – to monitor forest health, automate tree inventories, and plan sustainable logging. In this article, we introduce one of these solutions: an AI forestry algorithm developed by Arboair using 15 cm satellite data from EUSI.
