Rangeland monitoring often includes repeat photographs as a basis for documentation. Whereas photographic equipment and
electronics have been evolving rapidly, photographic monitoring methods for rangelands have changed little over time because
each picture is a compromise between resolution and area covered. Advances in image sensors, storage media, and imageprocessing software allow enormous amounts of information to be collected efficiently and inexpensively, so multiple pictures
taken at full zoom can be combined into a single high-resolution panoramic image. This project was initiated to integrate veryhigh-resolution panoramic images with conventional rangeland monitoring methods addressing three resource management
categories: riparian areas, wildlife, and invasive species.
