Using UAV and remote sensing technology to monitor fish habitat in northern British Columbia

新喀里多尼亚学院和环境动态公司。(EDI)作为北方不列颠哥伦比亚省Chilako河恢复项目的一部分，EDI正在合作开展一个应用研究项目，该项目将结合无人机（UAV）和遥感方法来监测鱼类栖息地的变化。EDI寻求研究和开发UAV和遥感技术的使用，以轻松检测和量化河流特征和鱼类栖息地随时间的变化。项目成果将帮助EDI开发和商业化一种创新的监测方法，大大降低定期基于生物技术的监测的成本，并为公司提供环境部门的新服务。学院自然资源和环境技术专业的学生将参与该项目的各个方面，并将发展在环境恢复项目中使用无人机等新兴技术的重要创新技能。

The College of New Caledonia and Environmental Dynamics Inc. (EDI) are collaborating on an appliedresearch project that will integrate unnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and remote sensing approaches tomonitor changes in fish habitat as part of the Chilako River Restoration Project in northern British Columbia.EDI seeks to research and develop the use of UAV and remote sensing technology to easily detect and quantifychanges in river characteristics and fish habitat over time. Project outcomes will help EDI develop andcommercialize an innovative monitoring approach that significant reduces the cost of regular helicopter-basedmonitoring and provides the company with a new service for the environmental sector. Students in theCollege's Natural Resources and Environmental Technology program will be involved in all aspects of thisproject and will develop important innovation skills in using emerging technologies such as UAVs inenvironmental restoration projects.
