Case Study: Indufor improves land monitoring and change detection with Planet imagery

Planet Imagery for Land Use And Land Cover Monitoring

The customer, Indufor, a global leader in natural resources management, faced the challenge of manually monitoring vast and remote forested areas for changes in health and productivity, a process that was both time-consuming and costly. Planet provided its high-cadence PlanetScope and high-resolution SkySat satellite imagery to address this need.

Planet’s solution, which was integrated into Indufor’s Continuous Resource Monitoring System and Canopy Index, enabled near-real-time change detection. This allowed Indufor to improve the accuracy of their monitoring algorithms, optimize field inspection efficiency, and focus resources effectively, resulting in significant time and cost savings for their land management operations.
