Treemetrics win €1m European Space Agency contract
Cork-based forestry-technology company, Treemetrics, has won a €1m contract from the European Space Agency (ESA) to carry out forestry monitoring research using their satellite technology.
The company pioneered the use of laser-scanning technology to measure volume and quality of standing tree crops, while more recently it has added satellite mapping and a 'real-time forest intelligence system' that allows forestry owners to monitor the quality and volume of timber remotely throughout the harvesting process.
