Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
College of New Caledonia
$25,000.00
Development of automated photogrammetric processes for high-resolution forest mapping applications
EF 2015-16
Résumé
TDB Consultants and the College of New Caledonia are collaborating on an applied research project to develop and validate automated high-resolution geospatial processes for forest mapping applications. TDB seeks to develop a software-based solution that analyzes high-resolution forest aerial images and automatically maps individual trees, along with predicted species, heights and health. This geospatial service does not currently exist and will introduce an important innovation to the forestry and geomatics industries in Canada.
The College will assist TDB by collecting field measurements in several forest research sites located near Mabel Lake and Nakusp in southern BC, and using these data to test and validate TDB's modeled geospatial data. This will help TDB determine model accuracies and refine the model for use in BC. College students in the Natural Resources and Environmental Technology program will learn how information and geomatics innovations are adding value to Canada's forest sector.
