White-label processing for UAV and forest geodata

Turn your UAV data into deliverable forest layers.

We process orthomosaics, CHMs and boundaries into QGIS-ready tree, crown and structure layers — complete with manifest, QA notes and delivery under your brand.

No drone operations. No end-client outreach. No black-box AI.

Processing workflow

From data intake to delivery.

Six concise stages, including optional raster generation and documented handoff.

01

INPUT

Data intake

Raster, vector, imagery, sidecar and AOI assets are received in a structured package.

02

RASTER

Optional: raster foundation

UAV imagery is reviewed for suitable orthomosaic, elevation-model and COG outputs.

03

NORMALIZE

Data normalization & canonicalization

CRS, NoData, units, resolution and file structure are normalised.

04

PROCESS

AI/geospatial processing

Tree points, crown polygons and structure layers are processed with defined parameters.

05

EVIDENCE

QA, manifest & evidence pack

Processing steps, checksums, parameters and outputs are documented for your project context.

06

DELIVER

Partner-branded delivery

QGIS-ready package using the agreed output schema and handoff process.

Visual product proof

Raw imagery or rasters in. Delivery package out.

Both input routes lead into the same documented processing and partner-ready handoff.

Productised packages

Start small. Standardise later.

Start with a bounded dataset. Once the workflow fits, we standardize outputs, handoff and repeatability.

PARTNERdigitalforestry.ai

You run the project. We deliver the AI processing.

Client relationship, interpretation, approval and delivery remain within your process.

Premium processing evidence

Chain of evidence for your processing workflow.

A manifest records one run. The optional evidence pack combines input references, checksums, processing steps, parameters, versions, outputs, QA notes and handoff documentation into a traceable project record.

Use cases

Where the processing layer fits your offer.

Concrete integration points for teams that capture, review and deliver geodata to their own clients.

01

UAV forestry projects

Challenge
Orthomosaics and height products exist, but specialised forest AI analysis is missing.
Output
Normalised data, tree/crown candidates and a QGIS package.
Partner value
More value per flight project without an in-house ML team.
02

Digital forest inventory preparation

Challenge
Fieldwork and GIS review need structured pre-analysis layers.
Output
Candidate layers and structure metrics for professional review.
Partner value
More focused checks and consistent project preparation.
03

Tree and crown candidate layers

Challenge
Manual pre-segmentation is slow and difficult to scale.
Output
Point and polygon candidates with QA notes.
Partner value
A faster start for qualified review workflows.
04

CHM processing

Challenge
Height models vary in CRS, units, resolution and quality.
Output
Checked, clipped and normalised CHM.
Partner value
A dependable technical basis for downstream analysis.

Specialist processing studio

Expert-led geospatial AI processing

digitalforestry.ai is built as a specialist processing studio for UAV, GIS and forestry teams. Technical direction is led by René Schubotz, an AI and geospatial developer with experience in computer vision, UAV data processing and reproducible geospatial pipelines. The focus: robust white-label outputs that professional partners can integrate into their own projects.

The focus is reproducible pipelines for professional service providers — not generic AI demos.

FAQ

Technical questions before the first project.

Short answers for UAV, GIS, surveying and forestry teams.

01How quickly will I receive results?+

Timing depends on data volume, area and requested outputs. After data review, we provide a realistic estimate; sample processing uses a clearly bounded subset.

02What happens if data quality is insufficient?+

We respond with concrete QA notes and clarify early which outputs can be produced reliably.

03How does technical data handoff work?+

For v0, handoff is agreed via a suitable upload or cloud-storage route. Fixed S3 structures or API-adjacent workflows can be prepared for recurring partners.

04Can you generate rasters from UAV imagery?+

Optionally, yes. We review imagery, EXIF/GPS and sidecars and derive suitable raster foundations where data quality, overlap and project goals make this technically sensible.

05Which sidecar files help processing?+

MRK, RTK, NAV, OBS and OBK files are useful, as are complete flight folders and mission structures.

06What is the difference between a manifest and an Evidence Pack?+

A manifest describes one processing run or output package. The Evidence Pack bundles inputs, checksums, parameters, processing steps, outputs, QA and handoff into a project record.

07Is the Evidence Pack a certification?+

No. It documents our part of the workflow and supports internal QA and client documentation; it is not an external certification.

08Are revisions or QA questions included?+

Yes. QA questions are part of the process so inputs, output scope and delivery format are clearly defined.
