The engine

AI analysis for any imagery, any resolution.

A deep‑learning foundation model with ultra‑fast custom training. Process UAV, aerial and satellite imagery, and plug the insights into your existing workflows.

01 / UPLOAD

Import imagery

Bring drone, aerial or satellite imagery together with your field data.

02 / SEARCH

Find what matters

Search entire landscapes for habitats, features or objects in just a few clicks. Let AI do the heavy lifting.

03 / REFINE

Make AI your own

Train site‑ or project‑specific classifiers fast, and save them as reusable analyses.

04 / RESULTS

Export data

Export results or connect via API to seamlessly integrate insights into your existing GIS, reporting and operational workflows.

Use cases

Built for land, river and coastal management teams.

From environmental and ecological management to asset and infrastructure monitoring, Lesser Spotted helps teams plan, assess and monitor landscapes at scale.

Result preview

Flora & vegetation

Identify vegetation types and key species — even at lower resolutions. Ideal for biodiversity baselines, habitat mapping and impact assessments.

Result preview

Invasive species management

Identify invasive species, monitor spread over time and measure the effectiveness of management interventions.

Result preview

Land cover & change

Create tailored land cover classifications and habitat maps, then measure and track change across surveys for EIAs and ongoing monitoring.

Result preview

Infrastructure & assets

Roads, tracks, pads, drains and fencing — spot degradation and encroachment, better target or reduce site visits, evaluate intervention success.

Result preview

Detection & counting

Automatically identify and count assets, vegetation and equipment to support planning, reporting and operational decisions. Automate repetitive counting at scale.

Result preview

Scale

A single field or an entire region — the same sharp detail, the same few clicks. Landscapes that once took seasons to survey, mapped while the question is still fresh.

About

The team

We're a small, senior team building data‑driven products for real operational use — not research projects or one‑off analyses.

Before founding Lesser Spotted, the team built and scaled geospatial AI systems in a venture‑backed environment, delivering production platforms used across multiple regions and sectors.

Our work has supported mining companies, environmental consultancies and government agencies — AI‑driven workflows for assessment, monitoring, compliance, and large‑scale land and infrastructure use cases.

Lesser Spotted was founded to make these capabilities faster to deploy, easier to adapt, and practical at scale.

Trusted by experts

  • 20+ customer evaluations completed
  • Live pilots across restoration, biodiversity and environmental management
  • Thousands of hectares analysed
  • Built with leading environmental teams
