Frequently Asked Questions

SkyForest™ does not need LiDAR as an input because SkyForest™ forest inventories can be produced entirely with satellite data. SkyForest™ is a processing technology that can use many inputs, including LiDAR if there is a compelling reason to. For example, SkyForest™ could combine raw LiDAR data and SkyForest™ species data to produce forest attributes such as LiDAR-based volume and basal area by species. SkyForest™ can also do this entirely with satellite data.
