TESTING LOW COST INTERPRETATION SYSTEMS FOR UPDATING LAND USE INVENTORIES

The paper discusses a study designed to test the feasibility of approaches to developing the re-survey techniques for the New York State Land Use and Natural Resource Inventory. Processes tested included: use of the zoom stereoscope, use of orthophoto base maps, use of high altitude imagery, color photography, and regular black and white photography. Microfiche readers also have been adapted to this work. The most efficient systems are reported, with current results showing the microfiche reader, using high altitude monoptical coverage, as the most efficient and most accurate techniques for interpretation. Cost evaluation is considered in detail, to determine the cost effectiveness of the selected methods.
