Monitoring of reindeer population using remote sensing technologies
Problems of monitoring of reindeer population using field observations and small aircraft are considered. Possibilities of the use of aerospace methods and satellite radio collars to observe the animals and determine the population and sexual structure of the reindeers are analyzed. Results of analysis of the Arctic vegetation changes, using multispectral satellite imagery are presented as well as the method of zooclimatic monitoring based on the model of thermal balance of the animal. It is also showed how to organize monitoring, integrated processing and presentation of heterogeneous data based on the intelligent interface.
