High-resolution satellite images help detect forest damage easily and cost-effectively over large areas?

In detail, the outlined tree canopies (in white) and the damaged trees (marked in yellow) are displayed. The trees are geolocated with GPS coordinates.

Satellite Images: A Powerful Tool for Forest Monitoring
Satellite images are perfect for obtaining a comprehensive overview of your forest areas—including retrospective analysis! We use high-resolution cameras (1 pixel = 50 x 50 cm) to provide tree-level insights into your forest’s condition.
The Best Part: Cost-Effective Analysis!
Since satellites capture images at fixed times, cloud cover may occasionally obscure the view. In such cases, we simply wait for the next cloud-free pass. However, with the growing number of satellites in orbit, these intervals are becoming increasingly shorter.
Ideal for Regular Monitoring
Satellite data is the first choice for:
✔ Ongoing forest monitoring
✔ Harvest and removal volume assessment
✔ Detecting calamities and other land-use changes
Changes in vitality or tree populations over time are reliably detected, and you may even receive an automatic alert if necessary.
If you receive a warning or need further details, you can decide whether to inspect the site yourself or request highly detailed aerial or drone images from us for deeper analysis.

The digital tree was created exclusively from images captured by a drone.
