Foliage is a light-weight web application for analyzing green canopy cover from a batch of images. Foliage is a spin-off from the Canopeo application and uses the same algorithm to classify green canopy cover. Foliage does not require installing any software or signing in for a new account.

Privacy and image metadata

Foliage retrieves metadata such as image name, image dimensions, timestamp, and geographic coordinates already present in the uploaded images. At this point Foliage does not make use of the current user location. If the uploaded images don't contain geographic coordinates, Foliage outputs null values in the output table. Foliage does not collect any private user or image information. All images and metadata remain in your local device at all times. If one day we decided to do so, we will first ask for your permission.
