Clear Timber analytics
By combining modern technology and advanced data analytics we help you get accurate insights into your trees.
Data-driven insights from LiDAR, point clouds and remote sensing data FOR CITIES AND FORESTS
ADVANCED tree analytics
Clear Timber Analytics turns raw LiDAR, mobile mapping and remote sensing data into accurate digital inventories of individual trees. From tree locations and measurements to crown outlines, vitality indicators and canopy insights, we help professionals manage trees with reliable data instead of assumptions.
Municipalities, urban foresters, landscape architects and forest managers use our analytics to plan greener cities, manage roadside risks, monitor tree assets and better understand the structure and value of their trees. Our results are delivered in GIS-ready formats, making them easy to use in existing workflows and software systems.
Our expertise started in forestry, where precision and scale are essential. Today, we apply that same tree-level analytics knowledge to forests, roadsides and urban environments, helping clients make better decisions for the trees they manage.
Urban Insights
We use high-precision mobile mapping and LiDAR analytics to build accurate digital tree inventories for cities. Working with our global network of mobile mapping providers, we turn existing data into clear insight that helps urban managers plan and manage green infrastructure better. Let the data guide how your city grows.
Forest Insights
With our high-resolution LiDAR analytics, Clear Timber Analytics delivers a range of products designed to optimize foresters' workflows, from terrain mapping and growing stock analysis to carbon capture and afforestation survival inventories. Let us help you gain the clarity and insights you need to make informed decisions.
Forest Monitoring
Unlock powerful remote sensing solutions designed to monitor forest health and detect key changes across ecosystems. Our advanced technology provides vital insights into forest vitality, helping you track environmental changes, safeguard resources, and support long-term resilience. Stay ahead with continuous monitoring and actionable data.
how it works
From raw spatial data to tree INVENTORY
Clear Timber Analytics is an analytics-first partner. In many cases, the required LiDAR, mobile mapping, drone, aerial, or satellite data already exists. When suitable data is available, we skip unnecessary fieldwork and move straight to analysis, reducing lead times and making better use of data that has already been collected.
If new data is needed, we can arrange collection through our own team or trusted local partners. Already have your own point cloud or remote sensing data? Send it to us, and we will transform it into accurate, tree-level insights.
Whatever the source, the outcome is the same: a validated digital tree inventory with individual tree locations, measurements, and crown outlines. Results are delivered in GIS-ready formats such as shapefiles, crown polygon layers, and CSV exports, ready to use in your existing software and workflows.
Projects
CASE STUDIES
High-resolution terrain mapping
For Staatsbosbeheer, we ran a high-precision inventory across 380 hectares of forest, capturing 10.8 billion LiDAR data points to build a highly detailed terrain model for long-term water level monitoring.
Bark Beetle detection
In Stolberg, Germany, we used high-resolution drone imagery and data analytics to detect bark beetle infestations at the tree level, giving foresters exact coordinates to act on fast.
Roadside forest vitality monitoring
For Rijkswaterstaat, we upgraded our satellite-based Forest Vitality Monitor to track the health of roadside forests across the Netherlands, giving asset managers a yearly, data-driven view of where to act.
