True Light is working to bring computer vision to forestry.

Modern machine learning and artificial intelligence can be used to analyze imagery taken by True Light. True Light’s mission is to use AI and computer vision to increase the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of analysis of the natural landscape, with an emphasis on forestry.

Forests are some of the most important natural environments on earth, and protecting them is critical to the future of our planet. AI will allow forests to be analyzed and monitored with greater precision and, importantly, higher resolution than previously possible. All of this will help to protect our forests.

Until now, the forests that cover vast areas of Earth have been monitored using coarse, landscape-level maps. But with the high resolution imagery True Light can generate, combined with modern computing, True Light is working to increase the detail that we can see in our forests to give foresters the knowledge they need to protect these trees.

“Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to the people.”

— Franklin D. Roosevelt

True Light is working to allow forests to be monitored with information about every single tree, letting foresters make better, smarter decisions.

Foresters have long used satellite and aerial imagery to analyze the forests and better care for the trees. Over time the quality of these images has gotten better and the resolution has gotten higher. Analyzing this imagery, however, is an ongoing challenge.

True Light uses AI and Computer Vision to better extract information in this high resolution imagery. Our work uses these methods to analyze remotely sensed imagery and build a database of geospatial information like never before.

True Light has experience using geospatial imagery, expertise with AI, and a background in geography and forestry. Together these capabilities allow True Light to analyze every object on the landscape. Every tree in the forest. Imagine the questions you could answer.
