Topic: Applying Power of Artificial Intelligence to Complete Vegetation Health Assessment
Presentation Summary
Vegetation health assessment is used in a wide range of environmental assessment programs such as spill clean-up verification and annual vegetation health assessment at risk-managed contaminated sites.
Timely cost-effective assessments using traditional (boots-on-the-ground) field assessment year after year can be difficult (and subjective) due to high variances in vegetation growth rates and species influenced by meteorological conditions, diverse soil types, and topography. This presentation provides a summary of a proof-of-concept demonstration project that uses the power of artificial intelligence to complete vegetation health assessments. The demonstration project exploits the abilities of machine learning computer scripts to independently recognize, identify, sort, and classify complex patterns.
