Drones and Deep Learning Join Forces to Read the Secret Language of Forests

Forests are a critical frontline in the fight against climate change, but the complex details of their carbon storage have long been hidden in a blur of overlapping canopies. To truly understand their potential, we need to know not just the size of trees, but their species and how they interact. New research provides a groundbreaking method to create precise maps of forest carbon stock at the individual tree level. By fusing high-resolution drone imagery with powerful artificial intelligence (AI
