Every year new types of remotely sensed imagery are becoming available to resource managers. Deciding what imagery to use can be a formidable task. This presentation provides an overview of currently available and future image sources. Straight-forward criteria and decision rules for determining what imagery will best meet the needs of your project will be reviewed. There is a lot of confusion about GPS, GIS, and mapping in the forest industry.
Some solutions are too expensive, too difficult, or too confusing to the field forester.
You will get hands-on experience with setting up and using a GPS data collector. Powerful functions such as search, filter, and classify will be performed. All of the above functions will be demonstrated with CMT's GPS equipment and office PC-GS 3.6 with Forester's Toolkit. Other manufacturers' products will be discussed. You will receive helpful handouts and fact sheets regarding the use of this technology.
