  • Idaho Highway Wildlife Mortality
    Idaho Highway Wildlife Mortality A. James Frankman Abstract—Idaho wildlife mortalities on highways and roads is tracked by the Idaho Fish and Game and the data is made available to the general public through an API called IFWIS Core. While the data supplied does offer species information and geographic coordinates, it can be difficult to organize and understand. This paper will attempt to organize and present this data in visual form using Google Maps and Visualizations APIs to show facets of wildlife mortality in Idaho by density of occurance, time of year, and species variety Index Terms—Information Visualization, Idaho Fish and Game, IFWIS Core, road kill, wildlife mortality, Google Visualization API. 1 INTRODUCTION Amongst the rural communities throughout the United States, the only shows 250 of the latest observations, the density of markers on attrition of wildlife by highway collision is a common occurrence. the map make it difficult to distinguish individual incidents. In an effort to better track and understand wildlife collisions occurrences, the Idaho Fish and Game tracks highway collisions that have occurred since 2001. This data can be useful and relevant to several areas of study. First, understanding how and where collisions occur can help prevent traffic accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Administration 4% of all traffic accidents in the United States are collisions with wildlife[1]. The collisions with wildlife on U.S. roads and highways represent a significant safety concern to motorists. Besides the risks posed to motorists, the affect on wildlife populations is also significant. America’s wildlife is a natural resource, and highway collisions have a negative impact on wildlife populations.

  • The Contribution of Earth Observation Technologies to Monitoring Strategies of Cultural Landscapes and Sites
    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-2/W5, 2017 26th International CIPA Symposium 2017, 28 August–01 September 2017, Ottawa, Canada THE CONTRIBUTION OF EARTH OBSERVATION TECHNOLOGIES TO MONITORING STRATEGIES OF CULTURAL LANDSCAPES AND SITES B. Cuca a* a Dept. of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Via Ponzio 31, 20133 Milan, Italy – [email protected] KEY WORDS: Cultural landscapes, Earth Observation, satellite remote sensing, GIS, Cultural Heritage policy, geo-hazards ABSTRACT: Coupling of Climate change effects with management and protection of cultural and natural heritage has been brought to the attention of policy makers since several years. On the worldwide level, UNESCO has identified several phenomena as the major geo-hazards possibly induced by climate change and their possible hazardous impact to natural and cultural heritage: Hurricane, storms; Sea-level rise; Erosion; Flooding; Rainfall increase; Drought; Desertification and Rise in temperature. The same document further referrers to satellite Remote Sensing (EO) as one of the valuable tools, useful for development of “professional monitoring strategies”. More recently, other studies have highlighted on the impact of climate change effects on tourism, an economic sector related to build environment and traditionally linked to heritage. The results suggest that, in case of emergency the concrete threat could be given by the hazardous event itself; in case of ordinary administration, however, the threat seems to be a “hazardous attitude” towards cultural assets that could lead to inadequate maintenance and thus to a risk of an improper management of cultural heritage sites. This paper aims to illustrate potential benefits that advancements of Earth Observation technologies can bring to the domain of monitoring landscape heritage and to the management strategies, including practices of preventive maintenance.

  • Android Working with Google Maps Get a Google Maps API
    Android Working with Google Maps The Google Maps API for Android provides developers with the means to create apps with localization functionality. Version 2 of the Maps API was released at the end of 2012 and it introduced a range of new features including 3D, improved caching, and vector tiles. Step 1 Google Maps Android API V2 is part of Google’s Play services SDK, which you must download and configure to work with your existing Android SDK installation in Eclipse to use the mapping functions. In Eclipse, choose Window > Android SDK Manager. In the list of packages that appears scroll down to the Extrasfolder and expand it. Select the Google Play services checkbox and install the package. Step 2 Once Eclipse downloads and installs the Google Play services package, you can import it into your workspace. Select File > Import > Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace then browse to the location of the downloaded Google Play services package on your computer. It should be inside your downloaded Android SDK directory, at the following location:extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib. Get a Google Maps API Key Step 1 To access the Google Maps tools, you need an API key, which you can obtain through a Google account. The key is based on your Android app debug or release certificate. If you have released apps before, you might have used the keytool resource to sign them. In that case, you can use the keystore you generated at that time to get your API key. Otherwise you can use the debug keystore, which Eclipse uses automatically when you generate your apps during development.

  • Improving the Usability of Nighttime Imagery from Low Light Sensors
    Improving the Usability of Nighttime Imagery from Low Light Sensors Thomas F. Lee F. Joseph Turk Jeffrey D. Hawkins Cristian Mitrescu Naval Research Laboratory, Monterey California (USA) Steven D. Miller Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere Fort Collins Colorado (USA) Mike Haas Aerospace Corporation Silver Spring Maryland (USA) 1. Abstract This article presents the nighttime visible sensor on the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument to be flown aboard the upcoming NPOESS and NPP polar-orbiting satellites. First, we will introduce the sensor and explain how it improves on a similar sensor, the Operational Linescan System (OLS) flown on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) series. A brief summary of the new instrument will be given, followed by a few example products from the OLS. The paper will close with a discussion of how the crossing time of the satellite affects the number of scenes that will have lunar illumination. 2. Introduction Low light imagery from the Operational Linescan System (OLS) aboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites (Johnson et al. 1994) has prompted a number of important applications never foreseen by the United States Air Force which originally designed and launched the sensor in the early 1970’s. The unforeseen applications include composites of worldwide city lights at night; detection of fires; imaging of the aurora; monitoring of fishing boats; imaging of snow fields; detection of bioluminescence (Miller et al. 2005); and the detection of power outages. However, the sensor is still underutilized for the application for which it was originally designed, the imaging of clouds using moonlight.

These species, Black-throated Green Warbler, Nashville Warbler, and Ovenbird, were known to be associated with forest understory features during breeding. We examined the influences of varying two spatially explicit classification parameters on prediction accuracy: 1) the window size used to average spectral values in signature creation and 2) the threshold distance required for bird detections to be counted as present. Two accuracy measurements, proportion correctly classified (PCC) and Kappa, of maps predicting species’ occurrences were calculated with ground data not used during classification. Maps were validated for all three species with Kappa values >0.3 and PCC >0.6. However, PCC provided little information other than a summary of sample plot frequencies used to classify species’ presence and absence.
