???? Neftaly Monitoring Forest Canopy Height Using LiDAR Technology
Precision Forestry for a Resilient Future
Accurate measurement of forest canopy height is essential for understanding ecosystem health, carbon storage potential, biodiversity, and long-term forest management. Neftaly brings advanced LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to deliver high-resolution, three-dimensional mapping of forest canopy structures — transforming how forestry professionals, governments, and conservationists monitor and manage natural resources.
???? What Is LiDAR?
LiDAR is a remote sensing method that uses laser pulses to measure distances between a sensor and the Earth’s surface. When mounted on drones, aircraft, or satellites, LiDAR can capture the vertical structure of forests — from the canopy top down to the forest floor — with incredible precision.
???? Neftaly’s LiDAR-Based Canopy Monitoring Solution
Neftaly leverages cutting-edge LiDAR platforms and cloud-based analytics to provide accurate, scalable, and actionable data on forest canopy height, including:
Canopy Top Height Models
Digital Elevation Models (DEM)
Digital Surface Models (DSM)
Canopy Height Change Over Time
Biomass and Carbon Stock Estimation
Our technology allows users to assess forest growth, detect logging activity, measure reforestation progress, and model forest dynamics over vast areas.

Neftaly: Exploring LiDAR for Detailed Forest Structure Monitoring
Overview
Understanding forest structure—such as tree height, canopy layers, biomass, and vertical complexity—is essential for managing forest ecosystems, assessing biodiversity, and tracking carbon stocks. Traditional field methods are labor-intensive and limited in scale.
Neftaly harnesses the power of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to deliver highly accurate, three-dimensional forest structure data. LiDAR technology allows for precise and scalable monitoring of forest composition, dynamics, and health, even in dense and inaccessible areas.
What is LiDAR?
LiDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure distances to the Earth’s surface. When applied to forests, it creates detailed 3D models of vegetation by capturing returns from the canopy, understory, and ground level.
Core Capabilities
???? 3D Forest Structure Mapping
