Published purpose

This project adapts AI-powered woodpile scanning technology, originally built for industrial woodyards, for use in remote forest worksites. Using 3D imaging, edge computing, and geolocation, the system can measure and classify timber piles accurately, even under partial obstruction and without internet access. The solution helps reduce GHG emissions, improve resource allocation, and digitize forestry logistics in rugged, unstructured environments.
