Title:
DETERMINING RISK POSED BY VEGETATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/197862
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of determining the risk to an item posed by vegetation, the method comprising: receiving passive high altitude data, such as satellite imagery, relating to vegetation around the item; determining at least one vegetation feature based on said data; determining a risk posed to the item based on said at least one vegetation feature; and outputting said risk to a user. The invention also relates to a corresponding system and computer program product.
