LU-CARIS Details
The Lakehead University Centre for the Application of Resource Information Systems (LU-CARIS - funded in 1983) is a fully integrated digital database provider focused on natural resources applications. The Centre, located in the Faculty of Natural Resources Management, serves the needs of both LU researchers and external resource managers for accurate, timely and cost-efficient data, analysis/modelling and custom-solutions with up-to-date remote sensing, GIS and GPS technologies. External professional and internal academic training and technology transfer, including Internet integration, in these technologies are integral parts of the Centre. Recent developments include the use of segmentation techniques for improved classification of high-resolution imagery as well as the incorporation of high-end spatial modelling and 3-d visualization tools.
