Problem
Traditional forest measurement methods require specialized equipment, extensive training, and are often time-consuming and expensive, limiting accessibility for carbon projects and supply chain monitoring. This creates a barrier to efficient and accurate biomass and biodiversity assessment.
Solution
biodiversityX offers a mobile application that transforms smartphones into forestry tools, leveraging AI and a blended ground-satellite approach to provide real-time biomass and biodiversity insights. The application simplifies ground data collection, eliminating the need for specialized equipment or extensive training. By using a smartphone's camera and an intuitive interface, users can capture data, and the application's algorithms generate estimates of biomass, carbon storage, vegetation structure, and biodiversity. The platform utilizes Angle Count Sampling (ACS) methodology, adapting the prism-based approach to a mobile environment, enabling accurate and scalable forest measurement.
Target Audience
The primary customers are carbon project developers and supply chain managers who require faster, cheaper, and more accessible forest ground measurement.
