Semi-automated processing of high-resolution satellite images maps emergent floating, and near the surface, aquatic vegetation in wetlands and lakes. Benthic habitats are classified using the coastal and marine ecological classifications standard. Exportable Lowrance® and Simrad® GPS Charts, ESRI Shapefiles, and Automated Summary reports of the Total Area of Each Classification are created automatically.

Key Features
  • High resolution GIS polygon creation of habitat objects (e.g., vegetation beds, coastal reefs)
  • User controlled class lumping and naming
  • Lowrance or Simrad custom GPS charts of classifications created automatically
  • Automated HTML reports summarizing areas of each habitat classification
  • Ability to download classification GIS shapefiles
  • Custom polygon tool that executes intersections within an area of interest
  • Train or validate classifications with on-the-ground data
  • Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) used for coastal habitat typing
  • Organization sharing
