About

IML Tree Motion

Features
Read full description

This App is used to control the PiCUS Tree Motion Sensor 3 (PTMS 3) from IML Electronic. The main function of this application is to start and stop the measurements of the PTMS 3 with the correct configuration. Bluetooth 4/5 is used for communication as the PTMS 3 are completely sealed to protect them from dust and water. It is also beneficial to have location tracking enabled on the mobile device to tell the PTMS 3 the actual geographical position and direction at the start of the measurement.

Tree Inventory AI turns a phone camera into a complete tree-inventory workflow for arborists, landscapers, and property managers. Walk a property, capture each tree, and the app identifies the species, estimates measurements, and assesses health and risk. Photos are annotated with professional markup tools so every report is crew-ready the moment you leave the site. KEY FEATURES Species Identification • Capture a photo, get common name and scientific name in seconds • Confidence scoring so you know when to verify manually • Works across hundreds of species Field Measurements • DBH (diameter at breast height), height, and canopy spread from a single photo • GPS-tagged inventory with a satellite map view of every tree • Rapid capture mode for dense sites Health & Risk Assessment • Condition rating (Good / Fair / Poor / Dead) • Hazard rating with defect and risk notes • Actionable recommendations on every tree Photo Markup • Draw, circle, arrow, text, and numbered pins directly on photos • Save as a new copy or update the original — your clean photo stays clean • Marked-up photos flow straight into reports for crews Property Reports • One-tap PDF generation with cover, summary, risk matrix, and a page per tree • Shareable links for customers and clients • CSV export for downstream systems Offline Mode • Capture without cell service — photos and data sync when you're back online • Critical for rural sites and bad coverage Multi-Customer Workspace • Organize by customer, job site, and individual tree • Team members share one org with role-based access Who it's for: arborists running tree assessments, landscaping companies managing inventories, HOAs and property managers tracking risk, city arborists and municipal foresters, and anyone who needs to know what's on a property. treeinventory.ai
