Abstract
The Upper Mississippi River Restoration–Environmental Management Program Long Term Resource Monitoring Program's (LTRMP) Resource Mapping and Spatial Analysis Team (RMSAT) has used the same manual photo interpretation techniques for almost two decades. This process and its various components have been modified as the technology has improved and spatial layers created today are produced much more quickly and far more accurately than datasets created in the early days of the LTRMP. This report compares both processes documents the similarities and differences and strengths and weaknesses of each approach.
