Vegetation - Slinkard and Little Antelope Wildlife Area [ds2940]

Field accuracy assessment surveys were collected by CDFW regional and VegCAMP staff in the fall of 2019. It was determined that the map had an overall accuracy of 89.3% before suggested adjustments were made to typing and line-work in response to the accuracy assessment. As part of the mapping process for this project we also implemented a drone component.

The purpose was to test the use of drone photos to enhance and extend reconnaissance efforts for mapping, help with determining signatures on coarser imagery, use images taken above surveys as a check on cover estimates, and test whether drone imagery would allow for mapping herbaceous vegetation at a finer scale.
