Objective Three: Satellite-aided field inventory

Develop Targeted Imagery Product Solutions for Field Forestry Applications

Today, many foresters are upgrading to handheld computers, enhanced GPS units, field-based GIS and digital imagery to display powerfully accurate representations of forest attributes and spatial data while in the field. By using these specialized tools to locate field plots, collect and analyze data and eventually develop maps of forest attributes, foresters are increasing the quality and timeliness of data collection, and ultimately improving tactical forest management and planning decisions.
