Canopeo measures green canopy cover from downward-facing images.
Canopeo Desktop is a lightweight, offline application for analyzing green canopy cover using digital images. It brings the original Canopeo methodology to Windows without requiring cloud servers, accounts, or external dependencies.
- Compute fractional green canopy cover directly from images
- Batch processing for large image collections
- Extract and preserve EXIF metadata
- Supports both RGB and downward-facing field photography
- Export results as CSV files for further analysis
- Works fully offline — no cloud, no login, your data stays on your computer
Canopeo was originally introduced in:
Patrignani & Ochsner (2015) Canopeo: A powerful new tool for measuring fractional green canopy cover. Agronomy Journal, 107(6), 2312–2320. https://doi.org/10.2134/agronj15.0150
The reference paper has been cited in over 800 peer-reviewed scientific articles, establishing Canopeo as a widely used and validated method for estimating green canopy cover in scientific research.
