The
use of multispectral aerial imagery for vegetation mapping provides
much greater detail than is possible from satellites. We usually
image vegetated areas at resolutions between 30cm and 1m, depending
on the type of final product desired. The ability to choose specific
wavelengths for our DMSC's 4 channels maximizes classification
efficiency and accuracy. We often have enough spectral detail
to separate individual species. This example shows Carpenteria
Estuary near Santa Barbara California, classified for native and
non-native vegetation. The quantification of native and non-native
vegetation will serve as a baseline for future mapping and monitoring
efforts.
