Use of remotely sensed data for environmental and ecological assessment has recently become more widespread in wetland research and management, and advantages and limitations of this approach have been addressed (Ozesmi and Bauer 2002). Applications of remote sensing (RS) methods vary in spatial and temporal extent and resolution, in the types of data acquired, and in digital image processing and pattern recognition algorithms used. Remote sensors can acquire spatially extensive regions at high temporal frequencies using either passive or active sensors. Passive sensors include panchromatic, multi-spectral or hyper-spectral detectors; active sensors, such as RADAR (radio detection and ranging) and LiDAR (light detection and ranging), 1 Geographic Information Center & Remote Sensing Center, Florida International University, Miami, Florida 33199.
