Sekido Begins Distribution of DF Series Forest Analysis Software

Sekido Unveils DF Series Software for Forest Analysis



Sekido Corp, a leading company based in Minato, Tokyo, and an authorized distributor of DJI, has taken a significant step in the field of forest analysis by introducing the DF series, a collection of five innovative software products developed by DeepForest Technologies. This range of software aims to significantly enhance forest management by utilizing advanced technology to analyze and visualize forest data.

What is the DF Series?


The DF series is a suite of software specifically designed for various forest analysis tasks. It encompasses the complete process from data acquisition to analysis and field survey, thereby streamlining operations and dramatically reducing human error associated with manual processes. One of the standout features of the DF series is its ability to identify tree species and estimate timber volume, making it accessible for users without specialized knowledge. As a result, the DF series caters to a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from forest management to the innovative use of J-Credits.

DF Scanner


At the heart of the DF series lies the DFSanner, a comprehensive software solution for analyzing forest information from drone imagery. Whether using a LiDAR-equipped drone or a standard digital camera, users can derive meaningful insights from ortho-images and DSM data. By leveraging AI technology, DF Scanner enables unprecedented analysis of each individual tree, identifying tree species and estimating height and timber volume accurately. Currently, it supports around 20 tree species, including conifers like cedar and hinoki as well as broadleaf trees like the Japanese oak.

DF LAT


Next in the lineup is DF LAT, designed for processing point cloud data obtained from LiDAR drones. This software generates detailed topographic maps and canopy height data essential for forest analysis. By detecting the ground beneath tree canopies and creating DSM and DTM with a 5cm resolution, DF LAT facilitates greater accuracy in estimating tree height and timber volume when used in conjunction with DF Scanner, thus meeting the requirements for J-Credits generation.

DF Viewer


Complementing the analysis tools, DF Viewer is a free GIS software that allows users to visualize results from DF Scanner. It can render GeoTIFF and shapefiles, making data interpretation easy and accessible for all users.

DF Walker


In the field, data collection is streamlined with DF Walker, a mobile application tailored for forest surveys. It displays ortho-images on maps and allows users to leverage GPS data to support tree identification efforts. This application includes polygon creation features for recording tree data along with location, with outputs compatible with GIS software.

DF BIRD


Lastly, DF BIRD serves as an SfM software to create ortho-images and DSM from drone-captured pictures. It allows users to generate high-quality images essential for further forest analysis easily. Users can select photo data and customize processing speed and output quality based on their specific needs. DF Scanner purchasers can access DF BIRD at no additional cost.

Upcoming Event at CSPI-EXPO 2025


To showcase their advancements in forest analysis, Sekido will conduct a talk at the DJI JAPAN booth during the 7th International Construction and Survey Exhibition, CSPI-EXPO 2025. The presentation will focus on the practical applications of drones in forestry and the DF series’ contributions to this field.

Event Details:
Date: June 20, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM
Location: CSPI-EXPO 2025, DJI JAPAN booth [20-61], Makuhari Messe, Chiba City, Japan

This event is an excellent opportunity for professionals in the forestry sector to explore how the DF series can optimize their operations.
