1) Jarlath O'Neil-Dunne from the University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Laboratory presented on using object-based image analysis (OBIA) to map green infrastructure.
2) Existing data and traditional pixel-based classification are insufficient to meet decision-maker needs, while OBIA can extract meaningful information by combining data with advanced analysis.
3) The presentation demonstrated OBIA techniques like multi-sensor data fusion, contextual operations, and object hierarchy to map features like tree canopy and impervious surfaces at fine scales, going beyond human cognition.
