[DeepForest Technologies Co., Ltd.] Launched Japan Drone Forest Measurement Platform
*DeepForest Technologies Co., Ltd.*
Press release: August 5, 2024
**
Launch of Japan Drone Forest Measurement Platform
*Towards the spread of forest measurement technology using drones and the establishment of a measurement system throughout Japan*
DeepForest Technologies develops forest analysis software from drone data Co., Ltd. has newly opened the “Japan Drone Forest Measurement Platform” with the aim of disseminating forest measurement technology using drones and building a measurement system throughout Japan. https://droneforest.jp/
The platform allows the following two things.
1. Search for a company that can fly drones in mountains and perform forest analysis
Forest measurement and analysis using drones is possible by installing commercially available drones and software, so there are many surveying companies across Japan that can perform forest measurement and analysis. The platform supports forest measurement and analysis by surveying companies that can fly drones according to the terrain, take photos with drones and perform laser measurements with a certain quality, and companies that have installed forest analysis software from DeepForest. We are registered as a company that has
The platform allows you to search for nearby registered companies and branches by specifying your current location or measurement target location. Therefore, you can request the nearest surveying company in each region, making it possible to request forest measurement and analysis at the optimal cost.
2. Distribution of seminar information on drone measurement and analysis in forests
DeepForest will take the lead in holding seminars on the latest forest analysis methods, including how to fly drones in mountain forests, how to acquire data, and how to analyze forests from the acquired data. By using DeepForest’s software, it is possible to detect individual trees, identify tree species, and estimate tree height, diameter at breast height, and trunk volume using commercially available drones. We will provide training on the latest forest analysis methods using commercially available drones.
The first online seminar is scheduled for August 28th, where participants will learn how to fly drones in forests and analyze forests using commercially available digital camera drones.
For details, please check the seminar information on the platform.
・Registration to the platform
Registration on the platform is free.
Once registration is complete, seminar information will be sent to the registered email address.
In addition, if you wish to be listed on the platform as a measurable company, we will make a decision on whether or not to list you based on the equipment and software you have installed, your past skills, and your experience attending seminars.
About DeepForest Technologies
DeepForest Technologies
is a startup from Kyoto University that develops technologies useful for forest management and forest conservation based on knowledge of forest science, remote sensing, and AI technology. The company has developed “DF”
Scanner” and “DF
LAT’ is a system that allows anyone involved in forest management to understand the forest situation from a drone, and it is possible to estimate the species, size, volume, and carbon storage of each tree in a forest using commercially available drones. It has become. In the future, we will enable use in forests around the world and
applications such as carbon credit trading and biodiversity
assessment, promoting more efficient forest management and forest conservation around the world.
