This project was commissioned and funded entirely by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Victoria.

In collaboration with Deakin University, this project will assess the efficiency of improved monitoring methods using technological advances to develop improved field data capture, camera technology, and automated image analysis and classification. This project develops and documents improved monitoring methods to ensure repeatability, data integrity, and calibration of field techniques. The data provided may be used for models and tools used for decision making in relation to bushfire management across the state.
