About ForestAI

Revolutionizing forestry management with AI-powered early seedling stress detection using hyperspectral imaging and deep learning technology.

The Problem We Solve

The southeastern United States forestry industry plants 1.5 billion seedlings annually, yet environmental volatility has increased first-year seedling mortality by 15-20% in the past decade. Traditional monitoring relies on labor-intensive visual inspection that cannot detect problems until visible symptoms appear, resulting in $150 million annual losses from failed plantings.

Our Revolutionary Solution

ForestAI leverages breakthrough hyperspectral sensing and AI to identify seedling stress 7-10 days before visual symptoms appear. Our technology represents a fundamental shift from crude visual assessments to precise spectral analysis.

Hyperspectral AI

Advanced algorithms processing hundreds of spectral bands to detect stress signatures invisible to traditional monitoring.

Drone Integration

Dual-mode sensing platform combining drone-mounted hyperspectral cameras with ground-based validation sensors.

Early Detection

Deep learning models achieve >90% accuracy in preliminary testing, enabling intervention before visible damage.
