Demand for Remote Sensing Data in Forestry Pacific Island Countries GIS/RS Conference 30th November 2011 Suva.
Overview • History of Remote Sensing with Fiji Forestry • Demands in Remote Sensing
History • GIS and Remote Sensing started in Forestry in 1993 • With collaboration for the National Forest Inventory of 1991. • In line with the assistance of GTZ-GOPA
Image Data Source • Landsat 7 • 25m resolution -> 1:50,000 • About 30 scenes 2000, 2001, 2002 • 5 bands available: blue, green, red, near IR, short wave IR • Most scene pre-corrected to UTM
Determine Different Forest Densities: Dense; Medium Dense; Scattered
Mapping for Operational Level • Mapping for Scale 1:10,000 • Digital Terrain Model • Slope of >30° - Protected forests
Mapping of Logging Areas • Stereo Mapping • 1:10,000 scale • Contour lines • Areas > 30o
Haze Different thresholds
