Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Saskatchewan Polytechnic
$25,000.00
Application of UAV-borne LiDAR and Multispectral Imaging Technology for Accurate Classification and Inventory of Wetland Vegetation
EF 2017-18
Résumé
Fiera Biological Consulting Ltd. (Fiera) seeks to develop customized algorithms and workflows to automatethe assessment of wetland condition from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery. Achieving accurateassessments of wetland condition requires detailed and specialized input datasets that allow for differentiationand identification of land cover types. The proposed partnership between Fiera and SaskatchewanPolytechnic's (Sask Polytech) Natural Resource Technology (NRT) program is focused on applyingUAV-borne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and multispectral imaging technology to develop newmethods for accurate classification and inventory of wetland vegetation. These technological advancementswill enhance wetland management and conservation practices, give Fiera a competitive advantage in deliveringservices to clients, and will provide staff and students of Sask Polytech with a unique applied research andtraining opportunity.
