Abstract
The application of methodology developed for peat resource survey has illustrated the usefulness of multi-level and multi-band aerial photography in classifying Landsat multispectral imagery. Ground truthing to characterize the thematic maps plotted from the aerial photography and Landsat imagery was based primarily on vegetation surveys. The results of this work are illustrated with a series of maps and photographs and the usefulness of the approach is assessed.Keywords
