Orb Vision forest assessment

Orb Vision is a forest assessment software that simplifies certification of forests.

Orb Vision is part of a complete forest assessment system that combines mobile measurements with satellite data to support certification, inventory, and monitoring.

The Orb Vision mobile app enables field teams, forest owners, and project developers to measure trees quickly and consistently—capturing DBH, tree height, spacing, and density directly from a smartphone. These ground-based measurements are processed by the Orb Engine, which also integrates satellite data to provide a full picture of forest conditions.

Main features

  • Measure sample plots in minutes
  • Standardise data collection across teams
  • Export structured data for carbon and timber inventories
  • Reduce errors and improve traceability in your projects
  • Instant reports

Orb Vision 2.0 provides data on forest resilience such as biodiversity indicators and health as a result from Orb's deep learning models.


Whether you're managing timber resources or preparing a forest carbon project, Orb Vision helps make high-quality forest data collection efficient, transparent, and scalable.
