On the Assessment of an ADAR-Based Resource Inventory Evaluation System (ARIES)
The responsibilities of land use and habitat management are becoming increasingly more important to Southern California Edison (Edison). The need to monitor natural resources and individual habitat types within Edison's service territory has evolved into an expensive and time-consuming task. Resource management requires monitoring habitat over time and accurately classifying habitat types. Field mapping techniques and conventional remote sensing technologies are too expensive, time-consuming and unrefined to fulfill these long-term land use management requirements. The development of a cost-effective, precise data collection methodology is necessary in order to meet this demand for data. To aid Edison in the development of an operational detailed resource inventory system, we will evaluate the feasibility of the Airborne Data Acquisition Registration (ADAR) System 5500 Digital Image Data. ADAR has a high spatial resolution, which will allow for detailed identification of land use classes and individual
habitat types. It is the goal of this paper to assess the feasibility of mosaiking, georeferencing, classifying, and integrating ADAR data for use with Edison's operational resource inventory system.
