Power grid and vegetation encroachment

Power grid and vegetation encroachment monitoring screens transmission and distribution corridors for clearance, outage, wildfire, and access risk.^[1][2][3]

Remote sensing for power-line corridors focuses on vegetation clearance and corridor condition; LiDAR is strongest for 3D clearance, while satellite optical and SAR support wider-area screening.^[1][3]

Satellite vegetation encroachment workflows support rapid wide-area risk assessment where corridor access is difficult or weather-related damage is widespread.^[2]

Vegetation-index approaches need asset maps and height or structure context because high greenness alone does not prove a clearance violation.^[1][3]
