MORE INFORMATION ON OUR METHODOLOGY

• For mapping, we use open data provided by the Sentinel satellites. If more detail is required, we use images provided by commercial satellites. This solution can be supported by field reference data - for example with TRESTIMA, a smartphone app providing measurement data and audit trail. ​

• For inventories, we need to generalize the field measurements over the complete analysis area. To accomplish this, we combine high-resolution optical satellite images and the Probability interpretation method (developed for forest biomass estimation at the VTT research center in Finland).
