AIMS-THERMAL - A THERMAL AND HIGH RESOLUTION COLOR CAMERA SYSTEM INTEGRATED WITH GIS FOR AERIAL MOOSE AND DEER CENSUS IN NORTHEASTERN VERMONT
This paper describes a simultaneously firing dual camera system that integrates a new generation radiometric thermal camera with a high spatial resolution natural color camera where all imagery is spatially indexed with local coordinates and managed by a GIS. A test of the system to estimate the moo...
