"Tree-D Fusion" merges AI and tree-growth models with Google's Auto Arborist data to create accurate 3D models of existing urban trees.

The project has produced the first -ever large-scale database of 600,000 environmentally aware, simulation-ready tree models across North America .

City planners could use the system to one day peer into the future, anticipating where growing branches might tangle with power lines.

The scientists see their dataset as a springboard for future innovations in computer vision.

They're already exploring applications beyond street view imagery, looking to extend their approach to platforms like iNaturalist and wildlife camera traps.

The team's approach of creating rough structural envelopes that approximate each tree's form has proven remarkably effective.
