AI for the forest 

AI tool by Homen finds infested trees in the forest
Provide forest owners with a fast solution to preserve their trees
By combining nature and technology, AI for the forest is an optimal solution to act fast and efficiently for the protection of trees when they’re infested. By analysing satellite images, damaged forest sections can be promptly identified and taken out to reduce new infestations, before it’s too late. While saving months of manual field work for forest owners, this AI allows to preserve large amounts of value in the wood.

IDENTIFYING INFECTED TREES FROM NON-INFECTED ONES, EFFICIENTLY, QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY TO SAVE THEM FROM CONTAMINATION

The Holmen forest company developed an AI tool that proved to be an opportunity to save trees in Sweden from the spruce bark beetle, a tiny four-millimetre insect causing 350 million euros of damage.
Holmen’s software analyses satellite images and spots the infested trees, with the help of image
recognition technology.

As a result, artificial emotions are being projected through their face which features no mimicry leaving the person in a state of transcendent confusion. Artificial emotional intelligence is already widely used by marketing experts to manipulate humanity into willing consumers.
