The New Sensor Landscape for Forest Guardianship

Modern multispectral and hyperspectral payloads capture nuanced reflectance bands that reveal stress, disease, and nutrient imbalances weeks before leaves visibly fade. Tell us what indices you trust most, and we’ll spotlight field-proven workflows.

Biodiversity, Heard and Seen

Directional microphones and compact recorders capture dawn choruses and nocturnal calls, distinguishing target species from wind and river noise. Share your annotated clips to improve classifiers for rare and cryptic forest dwellers.

Dawn patrols with thermal payloads prevent headline disasters

At sunrise, ranger Maya’s team spotted a faint heat signature under a fallen log that wasn’t visible to the eye. One bucket of water, a saved forest, and a shared protocol.

Moisture, heat, and wind data forecast ignition risk proactively

Integrating thermal maps, canopy moisture indices, and local wind models reveals dangerous alignments hours ahead. Tell us your terrain complexities so we can adapt routes and sensor settings accordingly.

Post-burn LiDAR reveals pathways for resilient regrowth

LiDAR-derived terrain and canopy gaps identify erosion risks and natural regeneration corridors, guiding erosion control and seedling placement. Share your restoration goals to receive tailored acquisition frequencies and coverage suggestions.

Field-Proof Design and Calibration Upgrades

Hot-swappable mounts let teams transition between LiDAR and multispectral quickly, while calibrated reflectance panels ensure consistent indices. Share your turnaround targets to streamline pit-stop workflows during tight weather windows.

Field-Proof Design and Calibration Upgrades

Irradiance sensors stabilize reflectance values across changing light, and RTK-coupled IMUs keep point clouds tidy in variable winds. Tell us your canopy heights and desired precision to tune configurations.
