0 Theme: High-precision, wide-area "Forest Infrastructure Map" realized by AI

 

Team Midori-Navi's proprietary AI technology, the "Komagiri Imaging Method," reduces the cost of conventional forest observation to less than one-tenth, and combining this with remote sensing realizes a highly accurate and high frequency "forest infrastructure map. Through this, we aim to realize a sustainable society that systematically utilizes the multifaceted functions of forests (timber supply, biodiversity conservation, disaster prevention, water source recharge, and carbon storage).
