GreenScan: Towards large-scale terrestrial monitoring the health of urban trees using mobile sensing
Healthy urban greenery is a fundamental asset to mitigate climate change phenomena such as extreme heat and air pollution. However, urban trees are often affected by abiotic and biotic stressors that hamper their functionality, and whenever not timely managed, even their survival. While the current greenery inspection techniques can help in taking effective measures, they often require a high amount of human labor, making frequent assessments infeasible at city-wide scales. In this paper, we present GreenScan, a ground-based sensing system designed to provide health assessments of urban trees at high spatio-temporal resolutions, with low costs. The system utilises thermal and multi-spectral imaging sensors fused using a custom computer vision model in order to estimate two tree health indexes. The evaluation of the system was performed through data collection experiments in Cambridge, USA. Overall, this work illustrates a novel approach for autonomous mobile ground-based tree health monitoring on city-wide scales at high temporal resolutions with low-costs.
