Canadian forest management has had a long history of developing and implementing remote sensing technology and is a major user of remote sensing. Despite difficulties in developing and implementing new digital remote sensing techniques, several key developments in Canadian forest management and in remote sensing and computer technology make the development and implementation of new remote sensing techniques at this time feasible and appropriate. Integration of different remote sensing technologies, remote sensing data with other information sources through geographic information systems, and remote sensing interpretations with forest management systems and practices are critical. Current capabilities and new advances in remote sensing technology for forest survey (excluding forest damage assessment) are discussed. Satellite imagery is a cost-effective tool for broad forest type mapping. New satellite systems improve this capability, but their major impact will be in inventories for new clear-cut and burned areas. Advances in linear array imager technology and lidar systems may lead to development of an end to end inventory mapping system. This system would provide an alternative to aerial photography and current mapping methods and could revolutionize the way forests are inventoried. Imaging spectrometry is a new technology with applications in damage assessment, but as yet has limited potential for assisting in other forest surveys. Spaceborne imaging radar systems are being developed for the 1990s. These systems can produce imagery under cloudy conditions. Their major impact on forestry will be to provide an alternative to visible-infrared satellite data for inventory update.

UAV aerial remote sensing system has the characteristics of strong real-time, flexible, high image resolution and low cost, which can be applied to map mapping tasks under various terrain. In this paper, the key technology of UAV Remote Sensing Surveying and mapping, the process of image processing, the research of mosaic method and the field application of remote sensing technology are studied. Aiming at the characteristics of UAV image with high resolution and small image frame, three methods of image map making are proposed, namely, single image geometric correction method, mosaic correction method and aerial triangulation method. This paper focuses on the key technical problems of the three methods, and makes a comprehensive analysis and experimental verification of each method from the aspects of mapping effect, accuracy and efficiency. The experimental results show that the UAV remote sensing technology can meet the real-time basic surveying and mapping data requirements of urban mapping. This method can meet the needs of 1:500 high-precision mapping. The system can reduce the cost and improve the usability when it is used to update the basic data of Urban Surveying and mapping.

In conducting mine detection experiments using our prototype robot COMET-1, we developed end effectors on the robot’s working legs. When detecting a mine, a robot must step safely and stably without hitting it. For this study, we created a simulation model to test the movement of a robot having an optical proximity sensor on each foot and used a walking algorithm having compliance control. We verified its efficiency in walking experiments. We also studied the use of remote sensing technology with an IR camera combined with other sensors. Tests with trial mines were used to study the detection of an IR camera and studied technologies for collecting and processing image data in real time for optimum mine detection.

Submarine pipelines must be designed to resist wave and current induced hydrodynamic forces especially in and near the surf zone. They are buried as protection against forces in the surf zone, however this procedure is not always feasible particularly on a movable sea bed. For this reason the characteristics of the sediment transport on the construction site of beaches should be investigated. In this investigation, the application of the remote sensing method is introduced in order to determine and observe the coastal morphology, so that submarine pipelines may be protected against undesirable seabed movement.
