WORLDTECHHow cities can go greener in a warming climate
WORLDTECH Brief: a short report of a current development, carrying only what WORLDTECH can ground in the sources below. It is expanded into a full WORLDTECH Story if further usable material becomes available.
Single source: this development was reported by Phys.org. What WORLDTECH can establish is that the report was made, and by whom. It has not been matched against a second independent organisation and has not been officially confirmed by the organisations involved.
What happened
VUB researcher Robbe Neyns has developed artificial intelligence capable of identifying trees down to the species level in satellite and aerial imagery. The technology can help cities better map their trees and biodiversity, making the urban environment as livable as possible, particularly in the face of a warming climate.
