Industries
Forestry
Quantify forests with repeatable, high‑density LiDAR—terrain, canopy, and change over time.
Canopy height & density
Data that supports operational decisions and research.
Bare‑earth terrain models
Data that supports operational decisions and research.
Habitat & health monitoring
Data that supports operational decisions and research.
Recommended workflow
- Capture multi‑return LiDAR for canopy/terrain separation.
- Process in ROCK Cloud to derive canopy metrics and DTMs.
- Export metrics and layers for forestry planning and research.
