Ensuring perfect conditions

Ground preparation (or soil preparation) is a critical aspect of forest management that significantly impacts the success of tree planting and long-term forest health.

Conifer Vision Ground Preparation Analysis help forest stakeholders to secure a number of critical values during the ground preparation process:

Securing optimal geowth conditions for seedlings.
Optimized nutrient availability.
Monitoring site-specific optimization.
Avoiding negative impacts such as soil degradation, environmental harm, and ecosystem disruption protecting the long-term health of the forests.

The Ground Preparation Analysis can combined with our Plant Inventory service to ensure succesful re-growth.

Ground preparation

Results from analysis provide a comprehensive site documentation and quality check inlcuding high-resolution images and detailed metrics of the entire ground preparation area:

High-resolution images
Area size
Number of detected soil patches
Area coverage
Aggregated area metrics
Density heatmap (living plants)
Consideration area metric
API for system integration

How It Works

Drones collect forest images using high-resolution cameras. Then, all images are uploaded to our online AI service, where analysis is performed under our supervision.

Images and analysis results are displayed in our online application as well as distributed to any customer forest management system, GIS system or online forest plan management system.

Drones can be flown by customers themselves or by professional pilots. A skilled pilot can cover up to 500 hectares per day with a high-resolution flying pattern, giving our solutions great coverage of large forest areas.
