TRESTIMA® is a new and innovative technology for forest inventory. Forest is measured by taking pictures with a mobile application. It automatically recognizes tree species and calculates forest variables, e.g. basal area, stem count, height, volume.
Measure forest and roundwood piles fast and easily by taking pictures

TRESTIMA® Forest Inventory System adds accuracy, speed, flexibility and objectivity to forest measurement. You can store different types of GPS-tagged data in the forest and later review your recordings with a computer or mobile device. Using TRESTIMA® is easy. Take a walk in the forest and at the same time create an accurate measurement of the forest by taking pictures with the mobile phone application. You can upload or draw forest compartments prior going to the forest after which you can see your own position and compartment borders in the screen. This makes navigation easy and you just have to shoot pictures evenly while you go. Measuring forests is easy, effective, objective and even fun! Measuring one forest hectare takes on average less than 5 minutes.
