Comparison of Techniques for Mapping Gypsy Moth Defoliation

Reference No:

GIS 35-5

Results of a study comparing the currently used method for mapping gypsy moth defoliation (aerial sketch mapping) and two newly developed methods using aerial videography (video office sketch mapping and computer screen sketch mapping). Analysis of the data involved visual inspection, acreage comparison, an error matrix of classification accuracy, and a cost comparison of each method tested.
