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

作为不列颠哥伦比亚省北部奇拉科河恢复项目的一部分，新喀里多尼亚学院和环境动力学公司(EDI)正在合作开展一个应用研究项目，该项目将整合无人机和遥感方法，以监测鱼类栖息地的变化。EDI寻求研究和开发利用无人机和遥感技术，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开发一种创新的监测方法并将其商业化，大大降低常规直升机监测的成本，并为该公司提供环境部门的新服务。该学院自然资源与环境技术专业的学生将参与该项目的所有方面，并将在环境恢复项目中使用无人机等新兴技术培养重要的创新技能。

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.
