Pine Forest Inspections

ZQ Photoelectric offers a AI based solution that autonomously detects infected pine-trees.

Pinewood inspection

This ZQ's inspection solution can detect the effects of pinewood diseases, insects, and pests. Providing an obvious efficiency improvement compared to those traditional on-foot or aerial methods.

Diasease detection

Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, commonly known as pine wood nematode or pine wilt nematode (PWN), is a species of nematode that infects trees in the Pinus genus of coniferous trees and causes the disease pine wilt. While native to North America, it spread in the early 20th century to Japan and in the latter half of the century to other areas of Asia, including China and Korea, as well as to Europe, including Portugal and Spain.

Autonomous inspections

The traditional aerial photogrammetry methods usually take 14-20 days to locate the diseased trees. However, a nematode infection on a pine tree only needs 40 days to kill it. ZQ Photoelectric's AI algorithm is capable of detecting an infected tree only in a fraction of this time, employing a float of drones with the ZQ's AI BOX and LiDAR technology.
