  • Forest inventory assessment using remote sensing data
    Patent number: 10467475
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that inventory a plot of trees based on data including one or more (e.g., all) of radar images of the plot, spectral images of the plot (e.g., high resolution images taken by satellite), other data (e.g., elevation, slope, aspect), and actual tree survey data physically collected about the plot and/or another plot having similar characteristics. Although the actual tree survey data collected is typically less than the amount of actual survey data used by prior approaches, the present systems and methods are still capable of inventorying the entire plot with a high degree of confidence (e.g., at least 95% confidence).
