Application of UAV-borne LiDAR and Multispectral Imaging Technology for Accurate Classification and Inventory of Wetland Vegetation
FY 2017-18 · 2017-11-16
Summary
Fiera Biological Consulting Ltd. (Fiera) seeks to develop customized algorithms and workflows to automate_x000D_
the assessment of wetland condition from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery. Achieving accurate_x000D_
assessments of wetland condition requires detailed and specialized input datasets that allow for differentiation_x000D_
and identification of land cover types. The proposed partnership between Fiera and Saskatchewan_x000D_
Polytechnic's (Sask Polytech) Natural Resource Technology (NRT) program is focused on applying_x000D_
UAV-borne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and multispectral imaging technology to develop new_x000D_
methods for accurate classification and inventory of wetland vegetation. These technological advancements_x000D_
will enhance wetland management and conservation practices, give Fiera a competitive advantage in delivering_x000D_
services to clients, and will provide staff and students of Sask Polytech with a unique applied research and_x000D_
training opportunity.
