Geospatial vegetation correlation system and method

A machine-readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of a machine to cause the processor to perform operations to perform a method, the operations comprising:

• obtaining geospatial coordinates for multiple points defining boundaries of a subject property;
• obtaining an image of the subject property from one or more positions above the earth;
• identifying, by a neural network trained on labeled images wherein each labeled image comprises a block having a selected size and a label identifying vegetation observed within the block, forms and amounts of vegetation within the boundaries of the subject property based on the image;
• determining carbon offset values for the forms of vegetation identified within the boundaries of the subject property;
• and
• combining the carbon offset values based on the amounts of vegetation to derive a total offset for the subject property.

A device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining geospatial coordinates for multiple points defining boundaries of a subject property;
• obtaining an image of the subject property from one or more positions above the earth;
• identifying, by a neural network trained on labeled images wherein each labeled image comprises a block having a selected size and a label identifying vegetation observed within the block, forms and amounts of vegetation within the boundaries of the subject property based on the image;
• determining carbon offset values for the forms of vegetation identified within the boundaries of the subject property;
• and
• combining the carbon offset values based on the amounts of vegetation to derive a total offset for the subject property.
