Visualization techniques for incorporation in forest planning geographic information systems
AbstractVisual representations are increasingly used to communicate the impacts of environmental changes. Geographic information systems (GISs) are becoming common sources of the spatially organized data needed to create valid and defensible visualizations. However, these data lack the detail and richness needed to create the realistic imagery felt to be critical for public review. This paper describes exploratory studies in the application of techniques drawn from remote sensing and applied to ground-level photographic images of sensitive locations to achieve realistic images with demonstrable relationships to an underlying GIS. Digital filtering and image sampling processes have been used to simulate the visual consequences of forest pests, of timber management activities, of forest wildfires, and of recovery from all of these impacts. The resulting images have been used to communicate expected outcomes to participants in policy-development settings, and to initiate the development of public perception models relating impacts to public preferences. Although integration of these techniques with GIS systems has not yet been achieved, the necessary development steps are outlined in this paper.
