Abstract: Oregon State University will collaborate with the North Coast and Cascades Network to develop a vegetation classification and vegetation map of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. The OSU team will use automated image segmentation and classification techniques in combination with traditional vegetation mapping techniques to develop the map. The map will meet National Park Service mapping standards, mapping to the level of Alliances of the National Vegetation Classification System, at the 1:24,000 scale, with a 0.5 ha minimum mapping unit, and 80% overall and per class accuracy.
Deliverables:
- Lewis and Clark National Historic Park Vegetation Classification and Mapping Project Report (Natural Resource Report)
