AbstractUltra high resolution digital aerial photography has great potential to complement or replace ground measurements of vegetation cover for rangeland monitoring and assessment. We investigated object-based image analysis (OBIA) techniques for classifying vegetation in southwestern U.S. arid rangelands with 4 cm resolution digital aerial photography. We obtained high r-square values for image- and ground-based measures of percent cover (r-square values: 0.82-0.92). OBIA enabled us to automate the classification process and demonstrated potential for quantifying fine-scale land cover attributes with ultra high resolution imagery. This approach exhibits promise for nationwide application for monitoring grazing lands.
