The challenge

Regional operations still rely on plot averages, manual calipers, and above-canopy flights that miss stem-level detail below the canopy. ALJ Global helps enterprises move to georeferenced, tree-by-tree inventory—with validated accuracy and ESG-ready insights.

HOW IT WORKS

Survey. Analyze. Act.

Delivered in Malaysia and the region through ALJ Global, powered by Deep Forestry technology.

The three integrated systems below deliver this end-to-end.

01. CAPTURE

Autonomous surveying

Drones navigate below the canopy, scanning every tree and uploading data to the cloud—fully automatic, no professional pilot required.

02. PROCESS

Precision AI

Cloud AI derives height, diameter, volume, species, and health per tree from fused 3D and spectral data—ground-truthed against field validation.

03. INSIGHT

Actionable outcomes

Clear dashboards for harvest planning, carbon and ESG evidence, and biodiversity reporting—without requiring in-house GIS expertise.

COMMERCIAL VALUE CHAIN

Three systems, one workflow.

Helping regional enterprises transition from estimated sampling plot averages to georeferenced tree-level assets for better margin planning and EUDR reporting.

SYSTEM 01 BELOW-CANOPY

Below-Canopy Autonomous Drones

Flies autonomously between tree rows, no professional pilot required. Builds a high-resolution 3D replica of every stem with analysis along the full trunk, surveying 500+ trees in a 10-minute flight (up to 1 ha per sortie). Data uploads to the cloud automatically for processing.

  • Georeferenced stem count and canopy mapping
  • Critical first 11 m sawlog zone measurements
  • Per-tree traits: DBH, height, and conicity
  • Obstacle-aware autonomous navigation below canopy
SYSTEM 02 ABOVE-CANOPY

Hyperspectral 3D Payloads

Flown above the canopy to scale capture across the landscape. Hyperspectral-LiDAR fusion delivers a 3D replica with species and health signals per tree, 50,000+ trees in 30 minutes, up to 100 ha per flight, extending below-canopy ground truth to stand scale.

  • Up to 100 ha surveyed per flight
  • Precision hyperspectral species classification
  • Scales System 01 ground-truth efficiently
  • Multi-modal canopy health and structure layers
SYSTEM 03 AI DATA INSIGHTS

End-to-End Cloud AI Pipeline

Automated point cloud segmentation and cloud AI analysis when you connect the drone or payload online. Tree-level metrics, visualization, and historical trends, plus biomass, carbon, and ESG evidence with auditable chain-of-custody for reporting.

  • Tree-level carbon and biomass carbon pools
  • ESG and biodiversity insights without GIS expertise
  • ERP and API integrations
  • Transparent, auditable chain-of-custody trails
MISSION COMPONENT PROFILE

Hardware Engineered for Rugged Canopies
