Satelliittidatapohjainen työkalu taimikonhoitoon

Satelliittidatapohjainen työkalu taimikonhoitoon

VESA-indeksi on tehokas metsänhoidon työkalu, joka analysoi vesakoituneita taimikkoalueita. Indeksi hyödyntää tekoälypohjaista satelliittidatan prosessointiketjua ja yhdistää sen avoimeen metsävaratietoon koko Suomen alueella. Aineisto parantaa metsänhoidon ennakoituvuutta ja tehokkuutta. VESA-indeksi on saatavilla T1-taimikoille ensimmäistä kertaa maksuttomana 31.10.2024 saakka. “Vuodesta 2018 lähtien Terramonitor on työskennellyt satelliitidatan demokratisoinnin ja paremman saatavuuden
