Forestry & Timber

Count every tree. Manage every hectare.

AI-powered aerial intelligence for forest inventory, canopy health and carbon — turning routine drone footage into decisions you can defend.

Overview

Intelligence for forestry & timber

Traditional forest inventory is slow, sampled and hard to repeat. Foresters walk plots, count by hand and extrapolate across thousands of hectares — leaving blind spots between surveys.

Orman turns standard drone imagery into a complete, tree-level picture of your estate. Our models detect and classify individual trees, track canopy health over time, and estimate biomass and carbon — so every hectare is measured, not guessed.

Capabilities

What Orman detects

One flight, a full picture — every capability below runs on the same drone footage.

Tree Detection & Counting

Detect and count individual trees across whole stands from drone imagery — no manual plots required.

Species Classification

Identify species and map composition to understand diversity and value across your estate.

Canopy Health & Disease

Spot stress, dieback and disease early using spectral and structural signals invisible to the eye.

Biomass & Carbon

Estimate standing biomass and sequestered carbon to support MRV and carbon-credit workflows.

Change Over Time

Compare surveys to quantify growth, loss and the impact of thinning, harvest or restoration.

Auditable Reporting

Export clear, evidence-grade reports for landowners, auditors and certification bodies.

Use Cases

How teams put it to work

A closer look at what Forestry & Timber teams solve with Orman.

01

Tree Counting & Inventory

A complete, repeatable stem count and inventory across your entire holding — updated from each flight instead of sampled plots.

Discuss this use case

What you get

  • Per-stem detection across entire blocks, not sampled plots
  • Stocking density and stems-per-hectare on every flight
  • Consistent counts you can compare season to season
  • A living inventory that replaces manual field tallies
02

Canopy Health Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of canopy condition to flag stressed or diseased areas before losses spread.

Discuss this use case

What you get

  • Early detection of stress, dieback and disease
  • Spectral indices that reveal problems before they're visible
  • Hotspot maps that direct crews to the right stands
  • Trend tracking so you can measure interventions
03

Yield & Biomass Estimation

Data-driven yield and biomass estimates to plan harvests and value timber with confidence.

Discuss this use case

What you get

  • Height, crown and structure metrics per tree
  • Standing volume and biomass estimates for valuation
  • Inputs ready for carbon MRV and reporting
  • Estate-wide totals without destructive sampling
04

Harvest Planning

Prioritise blocks and schedule operations using up-to-date density, health and access insight.

Discuss this use case

What you get

  • Prioritise blocks by maturity, density and health
  • Factor in terrain, access and constraints
  • Schedule thinning and felling with current data
  • Reduce guesswork and costly re-surveys
How It Works

From drone to decision in three steps

1

Capture

Fly a standard drone over the site — no specialist hardware or crews required.

2

Analyse

Orman's AI models process the footage automatically, detecting and grading every asset.

3

Report

Explore results in an interactive dashboard and export auditable, shareable reports.
