What we monitor
What we monitor
- Urban tree canopy Cover, distribution, and connectivity across the city.
- Urban vegetation health NDVI and condition over time, by district.
- Green corridor continuity Network integrity for urban biodiversity.
- Impervious vs. permeable Hardscape coverage and trend per block.
- Tree height distribution LiDAR-derived where available.
- Invasive species coverage Pressure mapping in urban habitats.
- Land-use composition Residential, industrial, green, transport.

Why CASSIA
A traditional survey takes weeks.
A traditional survey takes weeks.
A satellite pass takes a morning.
01
Continuous monitoring
No field teams required. Satellites pass overhead every few days.
02
Full spatial coverage
Wall-to-wall, repeatable, standardized not a sample of plots.
03
Drastic cost reduction
A fraction of what traditional surveys cost and far more often.
04
AI-powered indicators
Decision-ready metrics not raw rasters you have to interpret.
05
Weeks → hours
From data acquisition to actionable map, in a single working day.
