Invasive insect species can wreak havoc on urban forests . Color infrared orthoimagery with tree canopy features — such as the example to the right — can help urban foresters mitigate the tree canopy damage these insects cause by establishing baseline canopy coverage and identifying trends in canopy loss over time . The imagery was captured over Madison , Wisconsin , with Ayres Associates ’ RCD 30 digital mapping camera .
Beyond its usefulness for urban foresters , the high-accuracy imagery developed from the RCD 30 has a wide range of potential applications : It helps floodplain managers assess potential flood concerns and electrical engineers plan routes for transmission lines . It gives roadway engineers a more efficient way of mapping transportation features . It assists disposal service specialists in estimating landfill site volumes accurately .
This Cessna Turbo 206 is outfitted with the RCD 30 multispectral camera system .
