To map the characteristics of trees, Sobolt has entered into a partnership with Bomenwacht. Bomenwacht is a high quality consultancy company in the field of trees. Several cities in the Netherlands are already being mapped. The trees are automatically detected by 3D point clouds, which are created by a lidar sensor on the roof of a car. The trees and their physical properties were then processed by i-Tree, a groundbreaking, peer-reviewed software from the USDA Forest Service. With this "we" can finally calculate the impact of trees in the city much better.
