Abstract

Abstract : Concerns about the effects of urban encroachment occurring near military installations continue to grow. Urban encroachment impacts both the civilian population and the military installation. Urban growth and development negatively influence a military installation's ability to conduct training and maintain combat readiness, and they hinder the viability of the installation itself. The primary objective of this study was to monitor urban encroachment at Fort Benning, GA. A secondary objective was to utilize an efficient, more automated approach in extracting urban features from satellite imagery. This effort supports the long-term baseline ecosystem monitoring plan under the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), Ecosystem Management Project (SEMP), Ecosystem Characterization and Monitoring Initiative (ECMI).
