sUAV Vegetation Mapping

Presented at the 2018 Los Angeles Geospatial Summit.

Using high-resolution imagery from sUAVs (small Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles) paired with in-situ vegetation sampling, adding to the academic wealth of knowledge regarding native shrub and scrub population resilience to disturbance. Leveraged object based image analysis and classification across multiple remote sensing platforms, project findings supported the effectiveness of the Red Edge Band in aerial image interpretation and strives towards species level mapping.
