Developing Land Cover and Land Use Datasets Friday, January 25th, 1:00-3:30pm Indiana State Library 140 N. Senate Ave, History Reference Room Indianapolis, IN 46204 2008 IGIC Members: FREE Nonmembers: $20
Indiana has collected statewide digital imagery that can be used to produce information on what covers the landscape (land cover) and how these landscape elements are used (land use). This information can then be used to support stormwater, natural resources, urban planning, forestry and many others areas of land management.
This seminar will show a number of semi-automated approaches to creating impervious surface maps, canopy maps, land cover maps and land use maps, using remote sensing and GIS modeling techniques. There will also be an overview of the processes used, with examples of the final products, and their applications. The presentation will be given by Dr. Andrew Brenner, General Manager, Sanborn Ann Arbor.
