Remote Sensing Imagery for an Inventory of Vacant Land Soil Stability and Unpaved Private Roads
Clark County Department of Air Quality Management
The purpose of this project was to develop an inventory of native desert, disturbed stable vacant land, disturbed unstable vacant land, and private unpaved roads in Clark County, Nevada. The methodology for developing this inventory used multispectral imagery and ground truthing (field data collected on the ground used to “train” the computer to correlate spectral data collected by the satellite to actual conditions on the ground and also to verify that the correctness of the computer’s predictions of actual ground conditions), and the data were provided in GIS data sets that are compatible with Clark County’s Geographic Information Systems (i.e., ESRI data format and Nevada State Plane Coordinate system).
