Tree Information Satellite Services

Trees have numerous functions. They provide oxygen and shade, but also filter fine dust, reduce noise, and protect us from heat and rainfall. For a modern city tree management invokes also significant costs and risk management (by dropping branches, falling over, hampering traffic, shedding leaves, etc.). Satellite EO may help tree specialists in collecting information effectively on tree presence, height and crown size. Also satellite positioning can be of value in field inspections. The objective of this feasibility study was to design, test and validate a service and system to provide tree information.
