"When applying remotely sensed data, the information needs dictate the selection of data and analysis methods. Whether the scope of the application is over large areas or individual trees, a project typically must address logistical issues related to data selection and subsequent processing. Logistical issues include the scale at which the target must be measured (which will determine the appropriate sources of imagery), the attributes of interest, cost, timeliness, and repeatability. In this report, we ... synthesize approaches for detection and mapping of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) red-attack damage with remotely sensed data, from a forest management and disturbance mitigation perspective."
