Phys.org1 min read106 words
VUB researcher Robbe Neyns has created an artificial‑intelligence system that can identify individual trees to the species level using satellite and aerial imagery. The development is presented as a tool for cities seeking to enhance green infrastructure and address the challenges of a warming climate.
The AI technology enables municipalities to produce detailed maps of urban trees and biodiversity, supporting efforts to make the built environment more livable. By providing precise species data, the system aims to assist city planners in managing and expanding urban greenery as temperatures rise. The AI tool enables cities to map trees and biodiversity to improve livability in a warming climate.
