Digital Green Twin tree-canopy mapping
Milan used machine learning to map canopies from a survey of 30,000 trees
Problem
Urban planning required information on tree geometry.
Approach
Milan combined LiDAR surveys with its tree census. Machine learning derived canopy geometry from the point clouds.
Results
30,000trees in the LiDAR survey, according to Milan
Takeaway
The system was operational; environmental benefits were not quantified.
