Floral Resources Coverage

New in 2024 is the characterization of each pixel in an image divided into nine different classifications. Then a percentage of each of these classifications are identified in an image and the classifications are produced as a data layer.

Key Features:

  1. Detailed Classification: The algorithm is adept at analyzing image data to categorize different grassland habitat components meticulously.

  2. Versatile Applications: Whether you're examining Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres, roadway corridors, railway paths, gas/electric distribution corridors, or solar electric generation farms, the Floral Resources algorithm is equipped to provide invaluable insights into the intricate makeup of these landscapes.

Benefits to Users:

  • Efficiency - The data can be what drives your dispatching and work orders. Delivering your vegetation management teams to areas that need control.

  • Planning & Risk Management - Using dry vegetation indicators to assist with the planning of prescribed burns, or assisting in strategies to maintain or control a burn before it is started.

  • Holistic Habitat Understanding: By understanding the diverse components of grasslands, users can better and less expensively report for regulatory requirements or make more informed decisions about conservation, land management, and research.

  • Support for Biodiversity: The algorithm's detailed classification is essential for maintaining biodiversity. Identifying specific floral resources can guide efforts to preserve habitats crucial for various pollinators and other species.

  • Enhanced Conservation Strategies: With accurate data on floral resources, conservationists, land managers, and other stakeholders can design tailored strategies for habitat preservation and restoration.

  • Collaborative Research: POLLi's standardized approach ensures that different users can share, compare, and collaborate on data, fostering a collective effort towards grassland conservation.

  • Efficacy Evaluation: Comparing the progress of a restoration project throughout a season, or monitoring over time with a consistent and accurate evaluation is measured and reported quickly.
