Argus Advanced Deforestation Monitoring Solution
by Argus
EU Deforestation Regulation compliance; leveraging advanced Machine Learning and satellite imagery
Solution:
Advanced deforestation monitoring like never before.
Leverage Argus' state-of-the-art Machine Learning model and satellite imagery capabilities to accurately monitor for deforestation within your supply chain. Designed and built with the forthcoming EU Deforestation Regulation requirements front of mind, our solution enables businesses to certify their supply chains for deforestation at a level of accuracy never before seen within the GIS industry.
Modern regulation requires a modern solution.
Don't leave your business' compliance risk to solutions developed and designed using old technology from the last decade. The cost of non-compliance has never been bigger (up to 4% of EU-wide turnover & more), accurately reporting your deforestation due diligence obligations must be a priority.
- We leverage the European Union’s Copernicus SENTINEL-2 mission, which comprises a constellation of two polar-orbiting satellites placed in the same sun-synchronous orbit phased at 180° to each other, to access high quality satellite imagery with a high revisit time.
- We then apply our own custom Argus Pixel-level labels to determine forest cover segmentation using advanced machine learning neural networks – to a 99.6% accuracy.
- Our model then detects changes in forest cover — while ignoring seasonal patterns, nonhuman interventions, and more layers of obfuscation.
- Finally we apply a risk level (low medium high) with threshold distances from nearest deforested area.
- You access our findings via a report available on our Argus self-service digital portal.
