Every shape in this frame is one tree. 34,336 crowns, each drawn as a polygon with its height, from a drone LiDAR flight over 372 acres of replanted forest corridor on Hawaii Island. Cream is tall, teal is short, and the gulches give themselves away immediately. The planning team needed the shape of the ground under the canopy and a record of the canopy itself before routing new trails through here. 760 million points covered both from the Drone LiDAR unit got the job done!

Thermal mosaic of a river, flown in the afternoon. The channel and the cool ground along the bank read dark, the gravel bars glow. What stays cool in both the morning and afternoon flights is a candidate cold seep. What only looks cool in the afternoon is just shade. Trying to keep the fishies cool!

This lot is under a closed forest, so from above you see nothing but treetops. LiDAR gets down to the ground anyway. This is the same lot with every tree removed: old lava flows, ridges and hollows, 132 ft of relief.

High Road Solutions is my company based in Hawaii where I’m from and grew up. I can’t fully describe how nice it has been working back home and supporting projects here. The crewmembers and business owners here are some of the hardest working, most dedicated people I’ve ever worked with.

For the organizations and individuals directly supporting Hawaii, whether in service to its people, culture, or land, take a look at the community page:

We are always happy to volunteer our services to support a good cause.

Performing some large-scale UAS LiDAR mapping for utilities on Hawaii Island.

Normally for these projects, we would deliver a GIS file for the utility companies to plan with, but in this case, we are working directly with tree trimming crews. The goal is to provide something they can easily use on a tablet. These crews know almost every tree on the island, recognizing trees even via the lidar viewer. The pins show them where the encroachments are, then they can zoom in and assess the work that needs to be done.

All the tools and surveys I’ve created for these crews have been designed with direct input from them. Making it easy, simple to use, and effective. I really have to thank them for helping create the vision and success of the entire project that started in 2024.

Fire mitigation work has been a big deal lately, so helping them know their exact clearances and being able to visually show it has been a powerful tool. As usual, a hell of a project, with many new brain cells created (maybe a few new gray hairs as well).

Big Island Tree Service supporting wildland fire mitigation work with our drone lidar. The amount of trees they have worked on since the beginning in December 2023 is baffling!
