"How do I get the trees accurately in my map, how do I avoid excavation damage and on whose land is the tree?"
The solution: an accurate trunk position of the trees I am dealing with.
After long experimentation and testing, NEO has finally mastered how to determine a correct stem position from Earth observation data, and with BGT accuracy! This means we could also immediately tackle the follow-up problem: How do we keep this data up to date? After all, there are many trees in almost every tree file and also in the BGT that are no longer there in reality. And the ambition to plant more trees is high.
You will find this solution in NEO's new information service: Trunk compositionBGT. In this data service on API, we have determined the stem position of all Dutch trees with high accuracy and we will maintain it permanently. If required, NEO places them with the source holder in the BGT and records the mutations.
A tree's trunk position determines whether there is a risk of digging damage, who owns the tree and, of course, its correct position on the map. Trees are very rarely moved, but of course new trees are added and some disappear. Because NEO uses earth observation data and AI, we can accurately track these mutations and determine the position of the trunk with BGT accuracy.
With the tree base file, Trunk compositionBGT the most complete and up-to-date source for geo-information on your trees. Each of the 125 million trees in Tree Base now has an accurate trunk position.
Tribal positions are served via our API. For more information, please contact Wigger Tims (wigger.tims@neo.nl).
