University Of Missouri Tracks Invasive Trees With AI Satellite Imagery.

University of Missouri researchers develop a low-cost method to track invasive Callery pear trees using satellite imagery. Justin Krohn at the University of Missouri trained a machine learning model to identify these trees based on light reflection, offering an affordable alternative to drone surveys. This research addresses the challenge of invasive species management and could enable more effective conservation strategies for Missouri’s ecosys…
