  1. Image-based Change Estimation (ICE) – Production Ready? FIA National Core Band Meeting 14, October 2015 Kevin Megown

  2. Discussion Items • What is ICE? • Description • Goals • Project Funding • Personnel • Project Timeline • Current and Future Potential Obstacles • Current and Future Potential Steps • Future Timeline

  3. What is ICE? • Report on: • Land Use • Land Cover • Agent of Change • Using • FIA P2 plot LC’s • High resolution imagery (i.e. NAIP-1m) Implementation of the Mother Proposal; “…canopy cover and land use / land cover.” 2014 Farm Bill: Subtitle D: SEC. 8301. (B) (9) Understand and report on changes in land cover and use

  4. Project Funding • Pilot: 2010-2013 • TRB • RSAC Program • Production Pilot 2014-15 • RSAC Program • IRDB – FIA Maintenance • Station Personnel (NRS, IW)

  5. Personnel Accomplishing ICE • Pilot: 2010-2013 • Project Coordination: WOFIA, NRS, IW, SRS, PNW, RSAC • Tool Development: RSAC • Interpreter Training & Production Support : RSAC • GA, CO, WA – all work accomplished through RSAC • Production Pilot 2014-15 • Project Coordination: Chartered an Alignment Team, Estimation Team, Implementation Team, & Management Team • Tool Development: RSAC • Interpreter Training & Production Support: RSAC • TX – SRS and State of Texas • UT – IWFIA • NH, VT, MD – NRS

  6. Project Timeline • Pilot: 2010-2013 • All FIA plots (24,860) for GA, CO, WA • Mid-level classification • Production Pilot 2014-15 – engage all units • All FIA plots for (22% of 44,249) MD, VT, NH, TX, UT • High-level classification

  7. Current and Future Potential Obstacles • Time to interpret accomplish plot • Number of dots per plot • Classification detail – alignment with FIA field manual • High Resolution Imagery • NAIP continuation • Private imagery sources (BING, Google) • Historical imagery archive • Organizational Placement • Project Alignment: TCC, Prefield, ICE, LCMS • Inputs: NAIP, Tool, Training, Production Support • Data Management: NIMS • Reports: FIA state report, IPCC, RPA, NFS/S&P, Climate, IM&A, etc. • Funding & Project Management: • IRDB (tool and raining), • Program (production) • AAR

  8. Current & Future Action Steps • Resolve ICE protocol (impact tool, training and productivity) • 5 dots for all “no-change” – review December 2015 • Detail in the classification – review December 2015 • Define Organization and Responsibilities (impact: project alignment, data management, funding/project management) • Maintain IRB Funding (impact: tool, training, production) • Data (impact: analysis period, analysis, production, data management) • Generate Reports (impact: reporting opportunities)

  9. Future Timeline • FY16 • Update Tool • Update Training • Accomplish interpreting plots • Accomplish reporting • Accomplish Alignments
