BaKIM uses AI and high-resolution drone imagery to support tree inventory and tree health monitoring. It helps municipalities detect stress earlier, prioritise interventions and manage urban green spaces more efficiently.

This gives municipal staff working in tree management and forestry a better overview of large areas. Instead of relying only on time-intensive field checks, they can see more quickly where trees require attention, where drought stress or pest pressure may be emerging, and where maintenance measures should be prioritised. BaKIM does not replace fieldwork; it makes it more targeted, faster and more efficient.

Technically, BaKIM combines cost-effective drone data collection with a scalable AI pipeline based on deep neural networks. Supported by scalable European cloud resources, the solution makes advanced image analysis usable for municipalities without requiring in-house AI infrastructure or major new development processes.
