Explore every corner of the forest!

TreeDetect is a comprehensive platform that fully supports every step of the drone-based forest surveying process. It can be used by both drone operators and forestry professionals, from flight planning to automatic data processing and report generation. The platform allows you to manage projects in one place, plan flight routes, and upload captured data, which the system then automatically analyzes. It identifies individual trees and determines their height, diameter, gross volume, and basal area. The result is an interactive report generated within hours, providing a wide range of valuable forest metrics and indicators, all without any software installation or manual processing.

Drone Operators & Forestry Teams

Drone-Based Forest Surveying on One Platform

TreeDetect delivers interactive forest analytics in hours.

Drone Operators

Expand Your Service Portfolio

With TreeDetect you can plan detailed flight missions in our intuitive web interface and capture high resolution aerial imagery or LiDAR point clouds with any commercial drone. Simply upload your raw data to our cloud platform where powerful algorithms automatically process every frame and generate an interactive forestry report. Expand your service portfolio with professional forestry deliverables that require no software installation manual data handling.

Forest Management

Streamline Your Field Surveys

With TreeDetect you fly your drone or upload existing aerial images and LiDAR data to our intuitive web platform. Within hours you can access an interactive online report that measures every individual tree with precision, providing counts, heights, diameters, crown widths, canopy cover, total gross wood volume, basal area and spatial density maps. Our cloud based solution requires no software installation or manual data handling so your team can focus on managing forest health and planning harvests efficiently.

Data Collection

Choose LiDAR scanning or aerial photogrammetry to gather raw survey data.

LiDAR

Fly with a LiDAR-equipped drone to directly capture dense 3D point clouds. Upload your raw .las files and our platform will immediately process them for automatic tree detection and measurement.

Photogrammetry

Capture overlapping high-res photos with any camera drone. TreeDetect automatically reconstructs the 3D point cloud using photogrammetry, and performs the complete forest survey without any manual intervention.

Real Forest Survey Data

Demo

Explore a sample survey on our platform and see TreeDetect in action. Viewing sample projects requires registration. You'll gain access to a comprehensive survey dashboard where interactive maps, charts and detailed tables bring every aspect of the forest to life. Navigate seamlessly through your data to uncover insights, visualize patterns and make informed decisions with ease.

How It Works

Forest Inventory in 4 Steps

Plan your mission, capture drone data, process it in the cloud and explore interactive forest analytics.

Plan

Mission Planning

Use our web interface to outline your survey area, and we'll calculate all the necessary flight parameters, including altitude, overlap and sensor settings, so you know exactly how to capture imagery or LiDAR data for your survey.

Fly

Data Capture

Use the parameters we provide to configure automated flights in DJI Pilot 2 or DroneDeploy (or any other automated mission planning software). Execute the mission and capture high-resolution aerial imagery or dense LiDAR point clouds effortlessly.

Process

Automated Analysis

Upload your raw files to our secure cloud platform and let our engine ingest every frame and point cloud. In just hours you'll have an interactive forest report that measures each tree's count, height diameter, gross volume and more.

FAQ

What is a drone-based forest survey?

During a drone-based forest survey, LiDAR or high-resolution camera systems mounted on drones are used to capture detailed data of the forest area. The resulting point clouds enable the automatic detection of individual trees and the accurate measurement of their height, trunk diameter, and canopy size. This method is faster, more cost-effective, and more detailed than traditional field surveys, and it is also suitable for efficiently analyzing large forest areas.

What does TreeDetect do?

TreeDetect is a comprehensive forestry software solution that fully supports drone-based forest surveys. With TreeDetect, you can easily plan automated drone flights, upload your data, and let the system automatically process LiDAR and photogrammetric datasets. It detects and measures individual trees, then generates detailed reports and visualizations that provide an accurate overview of forest structure and support data-driven, well-informed forest management decisions.

What data is required for a drone-based forest survey?

TreeDetect can process data collected either through LiDAR scanning or photogrammetry. In the case of a LiDAR-equipped drone, raw point clouds can be uploaded directly, while aerial images captured with a camera drone are automatically converted by TreeDetect into a 3D point cloud. It's important to follow TreeDetect's recommended flight parameters such as altitude, image overlap, and camera angle as these settings have a significant impact on the accuracy of the final analysis.

What is the result after processing?

The processing generates a detailed tree inventory that includes each tree's height, trunk diameter, gross volume, and precise spatial location. The data can be exported in Excel, PDF, and GIS-compatible formats (GeoJSON). In addition, an interactive online report is available, making visualization and analysis easy and intuitive. This way, users gain a complete overview of the forest stand. Several free demo projects are available on our website, where you can explore examples of the final outputs produced by TreeDetect.

Is a subscription required?

No, TreeDetect does not require a subscription. The platform operates on a pay-as-you-go model, meaning you only pay for the data you actually process. This offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for both small and large projects, helping you avoid unnecessary fixed costs while tailoring the service to your specific needs.

Is there a free trial available?

Yes, TreeDetect can be tried for free. After registration, you'll gain access to a demo interface where you can explore the main features and reports. In addition, every user can process up to 3 hectares of forest area free of charge, allowing you to test the service with your own data. This provides a risk-free way to experience the benefits of automated drone-based forest surveying.
