Wetlands Analytics Visualisation Environment (WAVE) provides an instant report of the health and growth of wetland vegetation by analysing aerial photography of the immediate area.
Previously, Melbourne Water MW relied on physical inspections to ensure correct planting and that a diversity of healthy vegetation was established. Using AI, they now accurately count and report on the number of plants at the time of installation and monitor the growth and density of vegetation over time using WAVE.
