Introduction:
“Treewise: Bringing Spatial Data and Geo-AI Analysis for Tree Management in Hong Kong”

In the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong, the challenge of maintaining a reliable tree management system has never been more critical. However, the issue of tree collapses has become a significant concern, associated with the high management workload and the lack of automatically updated tree-related spatial components.

To address this pressing challenge, Team Spatial Innovators has initiated the development of a GIS/AI application, named "Treewise: Bringing Spatial Data and Geo-AI Analysis for Tree Management in Hong Kong."

Treewise leverages various spatial data in the CSDI Portal and the capabilities of geographic information systems (GIS), dedicated to implement a comprehensive solution for Hong Kong's tree management needs. At the core of this innovative platform is an automated tree detection workflow, bundled with advanced tree health index analysis, seamlessly integrated into an intuitive Spatial Dashboard Application.

By harnessing the power of spatial analysis, Treewise aims to enhance the efficiency of the tree management in the whole territory of Hong Kong. Moreover, the application is dedicated to facilitating public awareness of the benefits of spatial data for various innovative applications and securing their buy-in for the implementation of the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) in Hong Kong.
