Missoula, Mont. - Visual Learning Systems, Inc. (VLS), the world-wide leader in automated feature extraction technology, is proud to present the Best of Feature Analyst award to Native Communities Development Corp. (NCDC). NCDC successfully used Feature Analyst and QuickBird imagery to map the spread of Tamarisk, a non-native invasive vegetation species, along 32 miles of the threatened Arkansas River. Tamarisk trees dry-up water sources by lowering water tables, which presents a serious wildfire threat and impedes wildlife access to the river.
According to Jason San Souci, Director of Remote Sensing Applications at NCDC, “Feature Analyst’s powerful and efficient workflows, as well as its seamless integration into our processing environments, allowed for a superior quality, rapid turnaround mapping product.” NCDC specializes in the use of Feature Analyst with high-resolution satellite imagery for invasive species monitoring, biomass supply mapping, wildfire risk assessment and emergency response planning (E-911). Free evaluation copies of Feature Analysts are available at www.featureanalyst.com
