  • Forestry management tool for assessing risk of catastrophic tree failure due to weather events
    Patent number: 11215597
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods for determining a risk of catastrophic failure for a tree based on a mechanistic model of physical characteristics of the tree are described. The systems, apparatuses and methods include a mobile sensing platform comprising one or more sensors for obtaining data, a transport vehicle configured to transport the mobile sensing platform, a positioning sensor configured to precisely calculate geographic coordinates of the positioning sensor and the location of the positioning sensor relative to a reference object as positioning data, and a processor configured to fuse the imaging data and the positioning data in order to determine conditions for catastrophic tree failure.
