Efficiently conduct forestry inventory using Lidar data for accurate results
The staring point is a quality point cloud classification (semantic segmentation). For this task, Flai trained a proprietary AI model specifically for forestry applications. This model is available directly in Flai web application and can be simply applied to imported point cloud.
With machine learning on aerial LiDAR point clouds, the following classes are added to the forestry AI model:
Ground
Low understory
Medium understory
High understory
High vegetation and canopy
Tree trunk
Fallen trees
From a classified point cloud, we can extract additional valuable vector outputs that find utility in a diverse range of applications:
Tree top detection,
Trunk detection with fitted 3D lines.
DBH of tree trunk
Segmentation of canopies with tree height.
The extracted features prove highly valuable in carbon trading, mapping, and the creation of detailed forest inventories.

Günther Bronner, Managing director at Umweltdata GmbH on Flai's forestry solutions:
The team at Flai understood our needs and produced results with their forestry AI within a short time. They gave meaning to our airborne LiDAR point clouds and created added value for forest inventory and carbon trading applications.
