How Waterford City and County Council's Aerial Mapping is Boosting Tree Coverage
In this case study Waterford City and County Council explains how Aerial Mapping with FME is boosting tree coverage across Waterford City and County. This initiative involved commissioning aerial photography periodically, to capture images of the city and county. In the most recent data collection phase, the council focused on gathering information on tree coverage across the county.
