Advanced Forest Technologies (AFT)
is a research group in the Forest Resources Program of the Pacific Forestry
Centre, Canadian Forest Service, Department of Natural Resources Canada
in the Canadian Federal Government. This site provides information on
current research projects investigated by AFT,
including
Information on documentation, presentations, software and how to contact
us is provided. AFT
research and development activities include:
- automated, intelligent systems for resource and environmental information
for criteria and indicators for sustainable development and the Kyoto
Protocol;
- expert systems and decision support systems for forest resource sustainability;
- foliar and canopy chemistry measurements and mapping using airborne
(AVIRIS
and CASI)
and satellite (EO-1 Hyperion, CHRIS)
hyperspectral data;
- knowledge-base creation for criteria and indicators derived from remote
sensing and integrated resource information;
- determination of biomass using data fusion of AIRSAR
(SAR) data and optical
remote sensing systems (Landsat, hyperspectral);
- visualization and electronic communication of resource information
through high-speed electronic networks; cooperative research with remote
facilities distributed internationally;
- forest fuel mapping and characterization by remote sensing;
- development of databases for image and metadata storage and retrieval;
- development of policies for access to knowledge through national and
international organizations
